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

Always have had ambitions to farm, graduating from school this year and decided to reward myself for my birthday in February by getting started with chickens. Have 16 leghorns, 6 barred rock and had 16 Cornish rock cross. Also have 6 pekin ducks. Have 25 freedom rangers coming, a few more barred rocks, Rhode island reds, and Delaware. Will be getting an incubator soon to start breeding. All breeds have at least one rooster.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?

See above

(3) What breeds do you have?

Lol also see above

(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?

Search on duckduckgo.com

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

Hunting/trapping, woodworking, working on my car, gardening

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.

Graduating from medical school next month. Starting residency in internal medicine in July at a large hospital in OH. Working on a tv show for local access and youtube that talks about farming (specifically chickens and crops) and health maintenance advice. Married with a beautiful 10 month old daughter
