(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I have had my backyard flock for about 2 years now but I am just starting to get serious about all of it. Love raising chickens and I hope to build a business around it. I just started incubating my own eggs and have successfully hatched about 50 chicks.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I have about 35 mature chickens and about 30 chicks. We also have 2 turkeys and 3 guineas.
(3) What breeds do you have?
Wow this will be quite a long list. I will start with the ones I am most excited about....
I have used this site for references when I encounter issues with my flock.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Building coops, gardening, permaculture, raising black solider flies, composting, quilting, being a mom
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I was a high school teacher for the last 10 years and I have decided to try my hand at opening a business building chicken coops and getting the client set up with mature hens and all the information so they are fully equip to have fresh eggs immediately.
