1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
We are new chicken parents. We got our first four about 5 weeks ago and another 4 one week ago.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
8
(3) What breeds do you have?
A little bit of everything (kind of...)
1 Golden laced Wyandotte
1 red brahma
1 “Ameracauna” probably an Easter egger
1 barred rock
Second batch is:
1 copper maran (I think)
1 silver seabright
2 silkies
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
Seeing the kids with them and how quickly they change. They’re adorably quirky
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Gardening, interior design, wood working, family time
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
Two littles of the human persuasion. 2 cats and 1 dog, plus the 8 new additions
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
Started with coop research, then became a bit of an obsession for every question I had, and has saved my bacon with the second batch, and I finally joined because of my chirpy little seabright. His/her brood-mates peep and trill happily while it runs around being as loud as possible if not eating and sleeping.
ALSO VERY INTERESTED IN/NEED RESOURCES/IDEAS FOR: all of it! At this point I splinted a club-footed silkie and knew what to do about pasty butt thanks to this forum, so bring it on!
