With as many as 250 new members added to our super awesome community every day, we decided to add a section just for new member introductions!
So, for all you new members (or old members that never introduced yourselves) please take a quick moment to tell us a bit about yourselves and your flock!
Go here and look for this button:
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
We have had chickens off and on since mid-2000's, so we are not new, but do not consider us very informed on poultry care. Will appreciate guidance and resources.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
12 hens, 3 roosters
(3) What breeds do you have?
An assortment of laying hens - 4 varieties
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
Getting eggs, fewer bugs around garden, make manure for enrichment
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Beef cattle, textile crafts, gardening, firewood/lumber production
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
200+ acre family farm w 17 Angus cattle, a golden retriever,4 household cats, 2 outdoor cats, we are both retired from 30+ years in healthcare. We have some farming experiences.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I came across a link while googling whether sawdust could be used as chicken bedding.
