Hello there, my name is Landon (& I’m a gal-I get mistaken for being a man frequently 
). E lived in western Michigan and finally have been able to start our small flock, which we love 
(We couldn’t have them where we lived previously).
(1) We got our first set of 4 pullets in late August; then purchased 4 more chicks that same weekend; and finally agreed our last set of 4 chicks 6 weeks after that (I couldn’t resist!)
(2) Do we have 12 chickens in 3 groups of 4:
2 Silver-Laced Wyandottes, 2 Ameraucanas, 2 Light Brahmas, 2 Pearl Star Leghorns, 2 Barred Rocks, & 2 New Hampshire’s
(3) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? Definitely the gathering of eggs- so fun! I love their different personalities and silly antics. They are all so different!
(4) What are some of your other hobbies? Gardening, to be sure! It’s my main jam!
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. We have 4 kids and 1 on the way; a St. Bernard (Barney) who loves hanging out with the girls; & a sweet black cat (Leroy) who loves to occasionally taunt the girls; I’m a nutritionist, so I love the idea of growing and raising our own food!
(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 enjoyed reading BYC’s articles and have found some useful info on the forum.
