Hello, my name is Sara and I live in Ohio.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am very new to chickens. We just moved to the country and had a barn mostly ready for chickens. I hatched my first chicks on May 21st.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I had 4 of 8 hatch. 7 more possible in a few weeks!
(3) What breeds do you have?
My amazing friend Alicia got me started with Icelandic chickens.
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
I did a ton of research on BYC before deciding to incubate.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I teach 2nd grade (10years) I also coach softball and love to read or be outdoors.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I have a daughter, Marik who is 7, a son, Kai, who is 3, I've been with my husband for 14 years, married 9. My husbands 2 animals in the house rule was out the window when the chicks hatched and our momma kitty had 4 babies. She kept taking off at our house so she is now inside, bringing our inside animal count to 11! I have a Malamute/ husky mix and my 16 pound tiger cat as well! The chicks and kittens will make it outside in a few weeks. I should be adding to my flock in a few weeks too!!
