I am so glad I found this forum!!! First I'll answer my questions...
1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
June 7, 2011....I'm a newbie
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
We have 22: Mabel, Martha, Pedro, Remus, Mamie, Walter, Ralph, Alice, Blanche, Romeo, Henrietta, Harriet, Little, David Cassidy, Danny Bonaduce, Susan Dey, Reuban, Erma, Seven Up, Sprite, Cledus and William
(3) What breeds do you have?
We have Plymouth Rocks, and several different Bantams
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
Google, who knew???
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
We also have 2 goats, Spanky and Alfalfa, 6 ducks (probably future dinner, they stink) and a baby potbelly pig, Truffle.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
We live just outside a small town in rural Manitoba Canada. I have 4 kids, 3 boys and a girl, and my husband and I run a tireshop. Our little farm all started when my kids rescued a wild duck. We built him a coop, and my husband figured he needed some friends. I had NO experience with farm animals, and I was very intimidated by the chickens, but now they are my FAVOURITE!! BTW, our wild duck was rehabilitated and flew away on his own.
But of course since I am still new to this chicken thing, I figured I could use all the advice I could get..... So happy to be here
