Hello! 
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I'm fairly new to chickens, I have always wanted them and got my first chickens as chicks last May.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Four
(3) What breeds do you have?
I got them at tractor supply labeled as "Rustic Rocks" but they are barred rocks crossed with something, I just don't know what.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
It's incredibly peaceful to sit outside with my chickens and it gets me outside every day even if I don't want to!
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Video games and taking trips to Disney World
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I live with my husband, son and two dogs (Samoyed and a mini aussie), I stay at home with my son but I am also a very very very part time travel agent
.
(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 a long time lurker here since I knew I wanted chickens for awhile now, I decided to join because I recently have had some behavior issues with a few of my chickens and thought this would be the best place to get help
