Hello from Arkansas!

[Flash-the-Goat]

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Nope, had 'em since we were kids, but just now getting into selling eggs and learning more.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
11--a rooster and 8 hens

(3) What breeds do you have?
1 RIR (all her sisters died ), 5 buff orps and 5 grey Jersey giants

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
The rooster crowing and protecting his girls! I love watching him come in hot when a hen gets separated and throws a fit because everyone left her in the coop because she was still setting. Cracks me up.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Goats!! And learning how to make soap-free body wash and lotion.

Sorry about your losses.

We're glad you're here!

Looks like you and I have at least two things in common: a love for the sound of a rooster crowing and goats -- especially the extreme cuteness of baby goats. Your avatar photo is delightful!

Best wishes with your soap-free creations, and welcome to BYC!
