Hello from SE Wisconsin

[Cyprus]

Hello, BYC! I have finally worked up the courage to make an account. I look forward to enjoying being a member. Here is some info about me:

Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am not new to chickens. I have had chickens for almost 4 years now. I got my first chickens in February of 2014 from Tractor Supply Company.

How many chickens do you have right now?
I currently have 20 chickens. The most I've ever had at once before now was 16. But that's how chicken math works.

What breeds do you have?
Mille Fleur Belgian D'Uccle, RIR, Black Australorp, Silver Laced Wyandotte, Isa Brown, White Leghorn, Americauna/EE (Not sure, as only 1 lays a blue egg), Black Jersey Giant, Buff Orpington, Cinnamon Queen.

How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
On google from my many searches about all things chicken.

What are some of your other hobbies?
FFA, reading, and spending time outdoors

Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I am the eldest of 4 kids in my family. I have 3 younger brothers. I have 2 Siberian Huskies and 1 cat. I plan to be an exotic veterinarian in the future.

Glad you're here Cyprus!

A must have for your poultry is a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/suggestions-for-a-first-aid-kit.1150128/)
It's definitely better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it.

Also, make sure your coop(s) have a proper amount of VENTILATION. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...-there-and-cut-more-holes-in-your-coop.47774/) Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!
