Hi all!
My name is Rai (like "ray") and my husband and I just got our first chickens in Spring of 2022. We're really enjoying them and we're looking forward to being part of this group.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
We have 13 hens and 1 rooster.

We have:
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
They have such personalities! Especially our Easter Eggers – they are super mischievous.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
My husband and I enjoy traveling, hiking, board games, and homestead-type things like growing microgreens and mushrooms.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I'm the CEO and Senior Copywriter at Cornell Content Marketing, my digital marketing agency. In November 2022, my husband retired from his full time job to join me in my business. Now, we work together from home. We also have a pitbull (Tig), a ragdoll cat (Hunter), and a crested gecko (Whistler).
We're glad to be here!
