I'm Natasha, my husband Nate and I are hoping to get into backyard chickens soon---this is something we've been talking about for 12 years and now that we own a house and some land, we can make it a reality!
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? New to chickens, but not to birds! We have a 5 year old Budgie and a 10 month old cockatiel.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
No chickens yet, but we've been doing our homework and hope to start this Spring with 3-4.
(3) What breeds do you have? Still researching!
(5) What are some of your other hobbies? I am a HUGE DIY person! I like making and fixing my own stuff. I bake. I read. I do a LOT of fiber crafts (process and scour wool, dye wool, spin wool into yarn, knit, crochet, felt, and I have a loom for when I get the time to learn weaving!). I build 3D printers from scratch and do a lot of tech projects.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. I'm a 6-12 grade teacher, my husband is a mental health clinician (therapist) at my school. We have an 11-year old Husky-mix rescue, Amaguq, 15+ year old rescue calico cat named Sushi, an 8+ year old "Ragdoll" type cat that is also a rescue named Stormageddon: Dark Lord of All---Stormy for short, a 5 year old Budgie named Cecil (he was free on a local town swap FB group), and a 10 month old cockatiel named Carlos. My husband also has a rat and corn snake for his assisted therapy animals at school, Splinter and Kaa.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I've known about BYC for a number of years and lurk the page on and off. Now that we are seriously planning for chickens, I wanted to get more involved and make sure we are prepared.
