Good Morning (or evening, whatever it is for you) My name is Anna, and I haven't always been lucky enough to live in an area where I could have chickens. I'm not sure what to say, so I'm shamelessly stealing the questions template. I've browsed the forums for a lot of information already, and finally decided to break down today and join. Your posts have been very helpful to me.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am very new to chickens. I'm still waiting for my first ones to arrive (Friday) and hope that I'm ready for this.
(2/3) How many chickens do you have right now?
I have 15 ordered. 5 White Leghorns, 5 Silver Pheonix, and 5 Mottled Houdans (sp?) They're straight run, so everyone please cross your fingers for me that I don't end up with 10 (or more) little boys.
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
I was looking for coop designs on Yahoo, and came across the page. I don't remember if it was directly off Yahoo, or off of another page..
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I used to ride horses, that was before, when I had a disposable income and had to become a responsible adult, now I have to spend my money on frivolous things like food and rent. I don't really have time for many hobbies anymore. I'm a gamer, a halfway gardener (I kind of lose interest about midway into the summer) and a wannabe lottery winner, so far, my dream of winning the mega millions and retiring by the age of 30 is not panning out. They're not hobbies, but I spend my time working, going to school, and taking care of children- softskinned, feathered and furry.
I guess you could consider humor and sarcasm hobbies. Quite frequently I rely on them to get me through the day.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I have a husband and two daughters, 4 and almost 2, a couple cockatoos and a quaker parakeet, two miniature poodles, and a fish tank. No other outside animals. Yet.
I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can from everyone here.
