Hey everyone!
EastTexasHen here and getting settled in.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am and I am not new to chickens. I had a brief stint with a batch of 12 straight run Rhode Island Red chicks about two years ago. I got super lucky and all survived long enough to unluckily mature into roosters. They stuck around for quite some time until a neighbors very determined collie promptly dispatched them all. We are in a new house now and have a new, stronger coop ready and waiting for this next bath of chicks.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I'm currently waiting to pick up my order of chicks from Ideal Poultry!
(3) What breeds do you have?
I ordered 12 Crested Polish chicks that I am very excited to pick up.
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
I believe I found this group when i was researching care tips for my previous RR
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
My other hobbies include leatherworking, horsemanship,reading and planning.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I'm happily married with a beautiful two year old little girl! Shes absolutely wild about animals so Im excited to introduce her to the world of backyard chickens. We have two dogs, a 9 year old miniature schnauzer mix and a 2 year old basset hound, in addition to two horses and one very large red wattle boar named Kitty!
