(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? -- I am new to chickens. Having dreamt about having them in my backyard my whole life, I am happy to say in a couple of months my dream will be a reality!
(2) How many chickens do you have right now? -- Zero. I am thinking of starting with five.
(3) What breeds do you have? -- None. I am thinking of starting with Easter Egger, Golden Buff, Cuckoo Maran, and Barnevelder.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? -- As I do not currently have chickens, I'll speak to what about having chickens interests me. My end-goal in life is to be as self-sufficient as possible while remaining happy and helpful. I wish to have my own chickens for eggs, companionship, experience, and happiness.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies? -- I dabble in woodcrafts, tabletop terrain building, and games (board, video, tabletop, etc.).
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. -- My husband, two kids, and I have a pet dog and some fish in our tiny lily pond. I work as an analyst. I grew up in Iowa, but now live in Ohio. I'm so excited for chickens! Beyond excited!
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
-- I've been silently stalking BYC for years. I am finally close to being able to have my own chickens and so I've joined the family.
