Hi, my name is Quinten. 25 from KCMO.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am very new to chickens. We (my girlfriend and I) started raising our first little flock of 4 straight run chicks about 6 months ago. We ended up with an even split of 2 pullets and 2 cockerels. We were able to re-home the roosters. Unfortunately, we lost our hens just recently to a predator burrowing under the run attached to the coop at night.
Though we are devastated by the loss of our little girls, I have modified the coop run and we are hoping to start again.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Currently, zero.
(3) What breeds do you have?
Past: Rhode Island Reds (they were very friendly, we enjoyed them) Currently looking into buying 3-4 Lohmann Browns.
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
Researching prior to pulling the trigger on our first little flock.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
My girlfriend and I, along with our two dogs (Kanga & Joey) enjoy spending time camping, kayaking, hiking, rock climbing, going to the dog park, playing with the chickens, and sometimes just chilling with a good movie and a big bowl of popcorn.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
Well, looks like I got a little ahead of myself with question 5.
As I shared above, we have two dog children.

We are recent homeowners in Kansas City, MO.
She is a Veterinary Technician and I am a Network Administrator.
I converted an old rabbit hutch I built for a friend into our coop, and built on a run (and nesting box that is not in this picture). We also let the chickens free range in our privacy fence enclosed yard, during the day.
(that's me in the coop. I suppose I'm a rather strange looking chicken.)
