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

Very new to chickens. My wife has been obsessed. So about 7 weeks ago I surprised her with our first.


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

We have 6 chickens

(3) What breeds do you have?

You’d have to ask my wife. Lol!

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

I was looking online for information on building a run.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

I own a custom Cake shop in Woonsocket, RI called Kentastic Cakes. Please “Like” my page on Facebook! (Shameless plug)


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

I’m married with 4 kids. Besides running my cake shop, I work full time in Boston in the medical field.

:welcome

That was nice of you to surprise your wife with the chickens she'd been wanting! Don't be surprised if you find yourself caught up in them too, that's how a lot of people get sucked in, lol.

Make yourself at home here and if you have questions, never hesitate to ask.
