Hi,
I am a homesteader in the making on 5 acres and run a homeschool tutoring business called Eagles' Wings Education. I am from from Down Under and hubby now calls me crazy chicken lady; hence the post title.
I have always loved animals but now convince everyone I meet that chickens are the perfect pet.
First I was gifted some old girls. Then one flew into my nanna's backyard. Then I hatched chicks under my broody and now I am hooked!
I currently am building a flock through breeding or raising young un's. I will be keeping 4-7 purebred hens total. My eye is on possibly introducing a Sussex rooster at some point.
I have 1 x Australorp and 3 x Sussex (light and Lavendars). All under 1 year old. Also two pullets I am raising for the grandkids. We love taming chickens and making them happy girls.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
A few months. it was Google and genetics based questions!

My grandson (turning 3 tomorrow!) is fascinated with my little flock and loves feeding them greens through the fence. His family will be visiting us over Christmas (they're apartment-dwelling city folks) so I plan to let him help collect eggs...we'll see how that goes.
Sounds like a lot of fun you're having. You're in the right place and we're glad you're here!
