:welcome I'm not to far from you in Brightwood... An option for getting chicks: If you've ever seen Fran the Chicken Lady on the news, she's at Burn's feed store in Gresham. Getting chicks from Burn's is a great experience, you can call and reserve whatever breeds you want and Fran will load you up with knowledge. OR Portland Craig's list always has ads from local breeders. ENJOY!!

Oh I've heard of Fran and I'm excited to meet her!!!

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?

I am new to chickens, I have always and still live in the city. So my first chickens will come in the Spring!

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?

I have no chickens right now, but I am prepping my home for them!

(3) What breeds do you have?

I don't have any right now, but I'm open to suggestions for family-friendly breeds!

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?

I am just excited to share it with my daughter, and to add more animals to my family.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

I am a fiber artist! So you can pretty much catch me crocheting, sewing, and embroidering in my free time that I'm not spending with my daughter. I also enjoy reading, getting outdoors, and being around animals in general.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.

I live in the city with my husband and my toddler. We have a big tabby cat named Max, and a brindle pug named Ruby (after the children's show). I work at a graduate program where we teach teachers! I'm a vegan/vegetarian and have a big love for animals.

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?

I have been running into BYC when researching via Google and Pinterest. I wanted a place that seemed judgment-free to ask questions and learn more about how to take the best care of my new family members!

Welcome to BYC! Knowledge is power, I have learned a lot this week simply by ready others post and asking questions of my own. You are in the right spot.
