I'm not entirely sure that I introduced myself when I first signed up 3 yrs ago so I'll do it now since I haven't been here in quite some time.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
No, I am not new to chickens, I got my first ones 4 yrs ago. At that time I had 3 BRs, 3 RIRs. 1 of the RIR's turned out to be a roo and I'm not allowed to have roo's in town so off he went to a farm. Then over the years I have had SLW bantams, an Old English bantam and a ...hmm don't remember her breed now but she was just plain white bantam. All are gone now except the 3 BRs and my two newest babies, a Mille Fleur d'Uccle bantam and a Porcelin d'Uccle bantam.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
5 chickens and 3 ducks
(3) What breeds do you have?
3 BRs, 2 bantam d'Uccles, 2 khaki campbell ducks and a cayuga duck
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
searched for information on chickens and the forum came up in the search, after reading the info I was after, I decided to join.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I am a big crafter and I love to bake.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I have been married to my husband for 26 yrs, we have 2 adult children. Our other pets are 6 indoor cats, one very large indoor dog, a white dove, a turtle and 2 ferrets. Quite the zoo for being in town! I am currently a medicinal herbalist but I was a chef at one point and also a nurse in the past.
