Hello from Tucson, Arizona

post #1 of 15
Thread Starter 

(1)  Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?

 

Brand new. I grew up with horses and goats but gave up long ago on the idea of raising anything other than a dog when I moved out of the rural area.

 

But you can't take the country out of the girl :) And nothing beats a pet that produces fresh food :)

(2)  How many chickens do you have right now?

 

We have four chicks that are 1 week and 2 weeks old :)

(3)  What breeds do you have?

 

We have an Americauna, a Leghorn, a Black Frizzle and a Welsummer.

(4)  How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?

 

I was searching Google for chicken coop ideas and it seemed like 90% of them originated from this site. :)

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

 

Gardening, Baking, Weaving, History Clubs.

(6)  Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.

 

I am married with two kids (2 and 9), my husband is an electrician and I attend college full time.

 

I am really excited to participate here - it seems like there is just so much knowledge and creativity on this site!

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?
