(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Yes! We both are from rural communities where having a few chickens isn’t anything unusual, so eight weeks ago we purchased our first chicks!

Right now we have nine!

1 Barred Rock (we think - it was a surprise chick)
1 Speckled Sussex
1 Australorp
1 Black star
3 Ameraucana
1 Salmon Faverolles
1 Welsummer
All female to our knowledge…
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
They all have such different personalities and highly entertaining, we haven’t had them too long.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Ham radio, watching homesteaders on YouTube, making cards, gardening, and starting our own homesteading journey.

My husband and I have been together for 20 years. We have two aussies, two indoor cats, and now, nine rowdy girls.
