(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? We came home with a coop and 3 chickens yesterday from a guy on craigslist who was done with it

(2) How many chickens do you have right now? 3 layers

(3) What breeds do you have? Barred Rock and Brown ISA

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

(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Just bought a 15 acre hobby farm right before having a baby in the summer of 2017. We have been wanting this for years and everything kinda of came at once.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. We love it out here just trying to learn what we can. We both have full time jobs and time can be an issue when deciding what we can do out here which is why we rent a barn and 4 acres of pasture and get to watch someone else raise cattle and horses. We are keeping it small right now just getting the garden and chickens going. We are getting an Australian shepherd puppy in 2 weeks to watch over the baby and the chickens :)
