1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
We are first time chicken owners. We got our small flock in March. I've always wanted to have a backyard coop and when school and all activities shut down in the spring it was the perfect time for us to get a flock up and running.

2) How many chickens do you have right now?
We have 4 hens that are about 22 weeks old.

3) What breeds do you have?
(2) California Whites (laying light brown eggs) and (2) Isa Browns (laying dark brown eggs)

4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
Love learning more about chickens and researching all sorts of chicken info. We have been really surprised how social they are and have enjoyed letting them free range in the yard in the evenings and seeing their funny personalities. The eggs have of course been awesome too - all 4 are laying now and we've been able to ditch store bought eggs! Which is pretty impressive since as a family of 5 we can really eat some eggs ;)

5) What are some of your other hobbies?
We do a lot of gardening and work in the yard. Not too many hobbies as parenting takes up most of my hobby time

6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
We have 3 young kids, which I am homeschooling at the moment (hopefully that will end eventually!) and a dog.

7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
Each time I googled a chicken question BYC came up with an answer. Finally I decided to go ahead and join since all of the answers are here!
