Want to start out and say that what a great site! lots of great information here. Hope the community is just as awesome!(im sure it is)
Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Im very new to raising chickens but so far my wife and myself are doing what looks to be an amazing job! It all started with me at work one day(in august) and eating hardboiled eggs infront of someone and they asked why do you always eat so many eggs?!?! I replied with its for bodybuilding building. Long story short they suggested I get my own since they are so much healthier for you. so I looked into it and on the first week of october we got our first chicks(20)
What breeds do you have?
3 sapphire gems, 3 rhode island reds, 2 ISA Browns, 2 CALICO PRINCESS, 1 americana, 1 black sex link, 1 welsummer, 1 easter egger, 1 cream legbar, 1 buff orpington, 1 black copper maran, 1 barred rock, and 2 black australorps(1 hen & 1 rooster)
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
we really love how friendly they are and they are making such a good pet.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Snow skiing or water skiing, target shooting, axe throwing, gyming, pc video games, and you know it watching the chickens!
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
It just me and the lovely wife! maybe kids one day who knows. im currently retired/ish (30year of age and former Marine) my wife is still a U.S. Marine.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I found BYC when I was researching everything that one should know when taken care of chickens!
Our chickens seem healthier then ever!
Current set up is as follows
American coop from Carolina coops! great people btw.
2 waters fresh every day with a cap of ACV
natures best organic feed soon soy free(use a trough feeder use once in the morning and evening)
grubblies for chicken treats
American Hemp beeding mixed with HG DE
and crushed rock in the run(basically sand)
