(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?

Spring of last year. We bought some chicks from Tractor Supply and we were chicken people after that. lol

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?

24, weirdly enough we didn't fall into chicken math but it's a long story

(3) What breeds do you have?

Amberlinks, Rustic Rocks and Breese chickens

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?

Just watching them doing their thing and being chickens. They're very funny birds lol

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

Crochet, writing and video games. Funnily enough, my name here is related to Noodlers Ink because I really like their ink for my fountain pens.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.

I don't really feel like sharing a ton outside of chickens

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community? :D

This community has been a huge help since we started having chickens and I figured that getting involved with the community was a good idea ^^

:frow Hi, we're happy to have you. Thanks for joining. Would you be willing to share pics of your Amberlinks, I'm not familiar with them. I've had EE mostly, plus Black Australorps, Dominiques, Prairie Bluebell Eggers, Sapphire Gems, Buff Orpingtons, Brown Leghorns and now Ameraucanas. Oh, and Speckled Ssussex and some Copper Marans, both Blue and Black. One Black Jersey Giant... There may have been others ... 🤔
 
Hi all! I did not expect this many people to stop by on an intro post, but I'll see about answering any breed questions and post some pictures of the girls tomorrow.
Amberlinks are pretty standard looking in the hens, white birds with yellow feets. The roosters are a whole different story, the rooster we ended up with in the Tractor Supply flock (They said sexed but we got a boy) is named Chadington and he's an absolute darling. He's also white but with tan and cream colored highlights.
The rustic rocks best I can tell are a hybrid breed from the plymouth rock chickens. They have a bit more black and sometimes the black has a green shine to it. They are also absolute darlings, one we've named Barbra likes to escape the yard and follow me around while I sort out eggs and other tasks.
All our Tractor supply bird were raised from chicks and are sweet as can be. Every time we open the door for them it's a wave of birds and happy poultry noises.
The Breese are very unique? They're apparently a dual purpose breed but that's only by American standard, in Europe they're considered meat birds. I don't feel like I don't feel like I can speak on their temperament since they were sent to us by a factory farm (Very long story) and it's clear just by how they act that at least the roost, Gaston, has been kicked before. They're very skittish, don't like kitchen scraps much and have only started to be excited when we approach because that means yard time and they love yard time. Breese birds are solid snow white but have blue feet and very red faces.
I'll share photos tomorrow but for now, have a goodnight guys :)
