  1. Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
SOOOO new to chickens, we brought our chicks home on March 15th….

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

We have the max allowable for our city-4 chicks

(3) What breeds do you have?

2 Buff Orpingtons and 2 Black Australorp

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

My 17 yr sons want to show the chickens at our local county fair, and fresh eggs sound pretty good too!

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

Camping, hiking, rode biking

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

My husband and I are willing to help enlighten the experiences that may be provided to our children, raising chickens is something that I have always wanted to do and we are active FFA members in our city. The boys will be building the chicken coop and I feel this is good learning all around!
