(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? i first had chooks in 2012 or so, when i was a kid. we didn't have them for long before our old neighbour complained
(2) How many chickens do you have right now? 0
(3) What breeds do you have? n/a
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? the excitement of collecting eggs!!!
(5) What are some of your other hobbies? caring for our pet rats, snuggling with my boyfriend, and browsing the web!!
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. i'm 22, my name is finley, from southern california, and i have a very old dog, a very old three-legged cat, and two ratboys.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community? i was here back in the day but no longer have any of the log in info, so new account it is. i rejoined today because:
(warning for animal mistreatment and possible abuse)
we saw two chickens on the side of the road, and when we found the owner, she had no nest boxes, no coop, no grass (just dirt), and an open driveway gate. she didn't even know whether her chooks were hens or roosters, despite them seeming to be of laying or just about laying age. we saw no water or feeder either. she said "they just don't want to come home." and i was like, well duh, in my head. i asked if we could take them home, and the reply was an apathetic i don't care sort of reply. i'm thinking very intensely about my next steps. i may just go buy myself a coop and go back and ask her seriously if we can take em.
