(3) What breeds do you have?
some i hatched from a white leghorn crossed with an americana x brahm (i think he was that), some isa browns, golden comet, americanas,black sex links, and barred rock
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
they are fun, low maintance birds that are entertaining and useful, great lawn ornaments!

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
when not farming, i garden, hike around, explore with my dogs, motorcycle, build stuff, music

Hello and welcome to BYC Glad you joined.
How are the girls doing with that many boys giving them attention?

they are handleing them haha, one rooster is a bantam so some of the hens are above him on the totem pole (but holds his own with the other roosters), and one of the boys is an old man now, getting close to 9 and you can tell, so we keep him seperated, and another roo is starting to age, but he hatched with a rough leg so he's kept on the calmer side the past 4 years limping occasionally, nice boy though...

Welcome aboard! 4 Roos wow...what age? Please post some pics of stuff you build! Looking forward to flock pics too. Have fun!

thanks! Roosters- mork is about 3/4, binks is about 6, rocky is 2, and muttonchops the biggest (who is binks' father and some of the hen's fathers) is getting close to 9 cross b/t americana and brahma i was speculating...pretty man!
and i will, i'm on my 3rd coop build and made frame out of steel for preventing barn fire and welding is just simpler sometimes, plus solar powered for auto door etc., but not done yet and have to finish up the new run! They are all on wheels, going to take the "temporary" one out of service once the new one is fully functional, I will post a whole schpeel about it on here once i'm done! but with how busy this year has been and summer came sooner than expected, it has taken quite a lot longer to get done, but it will!! (attched are just a couple example pics of the new coop)
