Hey to whoever is reading this! 
My name is Shianne, I am 27 years old & living in Central Georgia with my boyfriend, our 4 children, 3 dogs, & 4 cats! We are PATIENTLY (lol) waiting until we can become new chicken owners! We are going to build a coop, & attach a 10x10 kennel (with all the safety works, of course) for their run, as we don’t want to risk them getting hurt free ranging. Any & all advice is welcome, as well pics of your built coops FOR SURE!
I already know I’m going to love this site!
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Brand spankin’! Our families own chickens- it’s our turn! Coming this Spring.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
0. We want… A BUNCH!
(3) What breeds do you have?
Again, 0. Looking to get Buff Orpingtons, Silkies, Rhode Island Reds, etc.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
“Ours.” I think it’s going to be awesome having the little cluckers! Caring for them as they provide us eggs & building trust/relationships with them is so eggciting.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I just picked up gardening as well! I believe chickens & gardens go hand in hand.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
4 children, 3 dogs, & 4 cats sounds like a lot to be adding chickens to, but we are so ready!
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
A friend I worked with has chickens, I call her the chicken queen because I quizzed her straight out of a chicken book, random questions, and she answered every one correctly! Lol anywho, she told me about the BYC group on Facebook which I joined, and eventually led me to finding the actual website. We are very set on getting chickens and trying to get ideas on coops, so I couldn’t think of a better time to join and get started!!
