(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? 2018
(2) How many chickens do you have right now? 13
(3) What breeds do you have?
3x Buff Orps; 3x Plymouth Rocks; 3x what I believe to be olive eggers (they are fairly new to the farm); 2 lavender orps (1 is a rooster), 2x RI Reds (they are brooder chicks), 2x Pekin Ducks (also ducklings in a brooder). Our mallards left us for a lake or something.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? Personalities, keep insects out of my vegetable garden.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Tractor repair, vegetable farming, gun collecting.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. Married with 1 adult kid and two high schoolers. For all the farm hobby stuff, I’m just a supply chain analyst in real life. Other than feathered friends we have a Siberian Husky, a lab, a 17 year old Himalayan and a fat barn cat.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
