Thank you so much!! Left the big city for the country and couldn't be happier!!

Smart move doing your research first (and joining BYC to do so). Also good to start small -- which was my original goal many chickens, ducks and geese ago.

Welcome to this community of smart, sharing folks!

Hahaha I have heard it can be quite the "addiction" animals are my passion, so I can see how this might happen to me as well lol. The goal is start small and figure it out as I go.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Nice breeds you are considering! Definitely browse around the forums, do some reading in our Learning Center and ask as many questions as needed. Welcome aboard!

Thank you! Yes I've been checking out the various folders, on facebook I've been reading the files and taking notes! I'm sure everyone will be sick of me and my questions lol.

Hey all!

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

I am new to chickens, I currently don't have any but I'm looking to get some so I am educating myself as I think that is most fair to all parties involved especially the chickens.

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

Currently none, but thinking to start with 3 or 4?

(3) What breeds do you have?

I want a silkie, easter Egger, lavender orpington, lavender Ameraucana, silver laced wyandotte.

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?

Having my own eggs and just having more babies to love.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

Rescuing animals, drawing, painting, writing.

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

I've got a husband, 2 young children, a cat, soon hopefully dogs and some chickens... I'd love a small operational homestead. So that is my goal.

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?

on Facebook of course! I want chickens so why not learn from the best?!

Welcome to BYC.
Much better than FB.

I'm tired of fb and all the political drama, thankfully I haven't seen it in my chicken/animal groups but mom groups...YIKES!
