Hello, everyone!
I know there're a ton of these but didn't want to poke in on someone else's thread and be rude by introducing myself. So I figured I'd make a new thread.
Lol, so. I'm gonna answer the questionnaire on the sticky!
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I'm super new to chickens. XD So new in fact that I do not (yet!!) own any. I've only actually handled them a few times. My friend had a setup with a dozen or so, and some turkeys, and she let me pet them and cuddle some fluffy feathery birds. <3 Prior to that I was actually afraid of them because as a kid I had a rooster attack me and make me fall off of my bike and into a barbed-wire fence, lol. XD Lame, right?
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
0. Trying to figure out how to convince my father (I'm in college but live at home since it's cheaper) that chickens are not dirty, disgusting, or smelly (unless poorly kept), which he insists they are.
(3) What breeds do you have?
I want to get some silver-laced polish, golden laced polish, and some buff silkies, though I'm tempted by aracaunas too. I'm pretty sure I misspelled aracaunas. Lol. I also thought about a pair of phoenixes, since my friend had a few of those and they were sweet. I thought about a guinea fowl, too.
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
I was researching chicken keeping a few months ago (well, about a year, actually) and looked into this site.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I own snakes, and eventually want to breed them.
They're so sweet. At the moment though I have only girls, so there's a tiny problem with making babies, LOL! I also do all sorts of artsy stuff. Sculpting, painting, woodburning, sewing, drawing, some digital art, and photography. I'll probably start a thread for some pictures that you guys might like seeing of some of the birds at the local zoo. Since you folks seem to be avian-friendly.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
1 female german shepherd named Amy, 1 male maine coon cat named Osiris, 4 female ball pythons named Matika, Lara Croft, Draccy, and Basilica. 1 mother, 1 father, 1 brother, 1 sister, 1 nephiew (age 3!). XD Too many extended family to mention, lol.
Anyhow, I do hope to talk with everyone here frequently and make some friends! It's a pleasure to meet you all. :3
Sincerely,
Sen
