Hello everyone! I'm excited to now be apart of this amazing community of chicken lovers!

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
No. I've been around chickens pretty much my whole life! My first true pet chickens were silkies my Dad got me when I was around 6 years old.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Roughly 100 laying hens and 5 roosters, I also raise ducks and guinea fowl!

(3) What breeds do you have?
Pearl white leghorns, red stars, white leghorns, dominiques, Easter eggers, silkies and a few barnyard mixes. My ducks are Khaki Campbell's and Pekins.

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? Their personality's! I also love having a fresh supply of eggs for my family and community!

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Gardening, photography, fishkeeping, hunting, and I'm learning to crochet! To name a few.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I live on my family's farm in Vermont. We grow roughly 5 acres of all natural vegetables. We also raise our laying hens, ducks and guinea fowl. We also raise heritage breed pigs. We have 7 amazing farm cats and a very handsome flock/family guardian dog! I also have 2 house rabbits, multiple planted aquariums, leopard geckos and a mini pig!

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community? :D
I found BYC a few years ago when I was looking for information on hatching chicks with a broody hen. I've been using BYC for information on chickens and other fowl for awhile now and finally decided to join the community!
