(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
None yet, hoping for 3 or 4

(3) What breeds do you have?
Still trying to select a breed that I'd like but I'm looking at Delaware because I've read they are good layers and quiet.

(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
I was just Googling backyard chickens to get some info and learn and came across this site

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Sewing, cooking,

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I'm a homeschooling mom to 6 kids, wife to one great guy. We live in a subdivision now but hope to buy a small farm in the near future.
I'm hoping to learn lots from all of you here and be able to contribute to knowledge someday.
 
Hello Laura!

I'm new to BYC as well. Just thought I'd drop you a line to let you know you aren't the only one!
 
Hi Laura, I am in Central Illinois, about 55 miles East of St. Louis just off of I-70! I don't have any chickens yet, but have the lumber, or most of it, for the coop next spring and hope to have it up and done by June and the chicks ordered and in the brooder by May. You will LOVE this site, everyone is wonderful, we talk about a lot of different things and the moderators are great about keeping us in line!!

Hello, from Rockaway Park, NY!!

I am also new to the site., and new to raising chickens. I just got my 9 chicks from mypetchicken.com
I am very happy, they are so beautiful they where hatched on Oct. 17. I received them on Oct. 19 and to now, 10 days later, what a difference
they seem to grow so very fast. My husband and son are building a chicken coop for them. When I was searching on the internet I came about this site, and I saw how informative it was, and I saw some of the chicken coops that their members had done and I took some hints for our coop. Which hopefully will be done soon.
by the way, my name is also, Laura

Happy mother of 3 wonderful children, 4 adorable grandchildren, 1 good husband, and always :giving thanks to Our God for all his blessings...
