Hello all!
It's been quite some time since I have been active here, so I will re-introduce after a tad update. When I joined I was living in Las Vegas and had just found a hen roaming my neighborhood. I got another hen and we were off. About a year later, turns out the zoning laws were really confusing (even to the employee I spoke with) and chickens weren't actually allowed. Rehomed the girls to a friend, who rehomed them again to a farm. I have been hen free for about 3 years now. We moved a couple of times and I now live in Prescott, AZ - I JUST got off the phone with the city planner who advised me not only am I allowed hens, but there is NO LIMIT to how many! I am SO excited!
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I grew up on a small farm and we had PLENTY of chickens. I think I was 7 when we got our first brood.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?: sadly, none. But hopefully that will change very soon!
(3) What breeds do you have?
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?: a google search years ago
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?: gardening, crochet, crafts, cooking/baking, raising our Tiny Ruler (18 month old daughter)
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.: I'm 35, married for 10 years to an amazing husband who works his tail off so I can be at home with Tiny Ruler, our 4 dogs, and eventually our chickens! We only have one Tiny Ruler, but hope to maybe end up with a second at some point.

We are glad you joined our flock.
If Prescott wants more chicken folks they should advertise that fact. I can imagine the mass migration of BYCERS to that town. They are also "baiting" you to get MORE - just to test them
