(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I don't have any chickens right now, but I'd really love to get some soon!
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
0 , I plan on making that number go up
(3) What breeds do you have?
See answer above, but my favourite breeds are Rhode Island Reds ,Plymouth Rocks and Sussex. I have a soft spot for the rescue mutts though.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
I don't have experience so I don't really know, but I think I'd enjoy just taking care of them as pets, and a big bonus would be not having a buy eggs.
.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Horse riding is about the only one I think, I just do trekking.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I am a New Zealander, live on a rural scrubby farm that is an orchard project. I own 1 budgie, 2 canaries, 2 zebra finches, 3 diamond doves, 2 black masked lovebirds and 3 Fischer lovebirds, 6 rabbits, 2 guinea pigs, 2 socialized feral cats, one fox terrier mutt dog, 3 horses, and 4 pigeons currently.
Currently trying to breed some more pigeons.. Not been such a fun experience trying to breed them so far. Hoping that will change.
I reckon the next animals I'll get will be chickens.
I'll get some photos from my phone and post em here tommorow
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
Google led me here via googling questions, I've know about BYC for about a year-ish but I didn't know there was such knowledge about other birds until recently, which that made me join. As well as after looking through threads for a while I really like the community, have had bad experiences with another bird forum that was a bit toxic, but not this one.
