(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Yes, new to chickens! Hence why I am now apart of this group. Sorry now for all the questions to come.
We got our chicks about 3 weeks ago. So we’re just starting our flock of chickies.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
We have 8 chicks. My limit was 4, but somehow they kept multiplying by 2 for a quick minute.
(3) What breeds do you have?
Sapphire Gem, Barred Rock, Silkies, assorted Bantams- questions for later!
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
Honestly right, now my pocket chicken, Poppy. Everything else is a bit overwhelming once I started joining groups and following pages.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Watching my kids activities and hobbies, reading, used to game when I had time.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
We have 3 kids and are always busy with something. Lol Our dog is named Coolio and the cat named Luna. She’s actually quite terrifying. I work in health care. I’ve been wanting chickens for years and I finally just went and bought them! Now I’m deep diving into the life of chickens. If you’re the punctuation police, you’ll probably not want to follow my posts or do- just know I suck at writing. I still need all the advice! But warnings have been given!
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
Um, not even an hour. Haha But I found BYC when trying to figure out what my Bantams’ breed is and if I could figure out the chicks’ sex. I’m impatient.
I joined because all the posts seem helpful and I haven’t read any hateful comments, which is nice!
Looking forward to future posts and comments!
