1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?

yes- we got our first 3 chicks in April 2023

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
so far we love watching them grow

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I love to do crafts- crochet, embroidery, art projects and gardening with my kids. We've spent the last 3 weekends working on building a run!

We are in Southern California and have 2 dogs

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
