(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
(3) What breeds do you have? None yet. Looking to start with blue orpingtons.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? Dual purpose: eggs and meat. Concerns about the current farming methods and our future food supply.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Gardening.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. My husband and I are preparing for retirement and downsized to a small home in a rural subdivision about 5 years ago. Our dog passed a couple of years ago and we have no pets.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community? Found BYC in internet searches for chicken breeds and care.
