Hi! The name is Sten (as said in the username) or Stennie. I'm 20 years old.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I've had chickens on and off since I was very young girl, anywhere from 3-7 years old, I'm not sure.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Around 12, with 5 guinea fowl.
(3) What breeds do you have?
I'm not good with remembering breed names, to be honest. But the ones I know I have are Rhode Island Reds, and Plymouth Rock, along with another breed of black-feathered hens which I can't recall the name of.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
I just think they're neat. I like watching them.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Beyond college, I like writing and drawing, as well as some video games. One of the games I play is Stardew Valley, which I only mention because, y'know, farming. I used to read a lot, but over the years, I've lost the energy for it.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I have a younger brother, along with my two parents, my mom being the one who introduced me to these birds, and my grandmother lives in a house that we attached to ours. I also have six dogs and eleven goats. I don't have a job just yet, but I'm enrolled in college, majoring in Journalism (well, Pre-Journalism, at the moment).
(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 a really long time ago, and my family had a shared account at one time. I joined because more than once we've encountered issues with our hens and been unable to find answers, and I thought, 'Why not just make an account already and ask them myself?'
