Hi! I'm chooky-dook (which is based off what I call my chickens).
I love poultry, especially chickens, and I'm interested in quail and ducks, and also heritage/endangered chicken breeds.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am new to chickens, or somewhat. When I was a child, we got chicks, but they died of heatstroke, and then predator attacks. This time I have been vigilantly watching and caring for my 2 chicks to make sure they don't get the same fate.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I currently have 2 chickens, but I really want more!
(3) What breeds do you have?
I have a Welsummer and a silkie bantam.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
I just generally love birds, especially parrots and poultry! Eggs are a bonus, but I love having them and seeing them wander around the yard.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I draw, write, sing, and love learning languages.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I have one sweet budgie that likes chatting with the chickens, and I want to get her a friend. If I ever get a property big enough I hope to conserve endangered chicken breeds and try to outcross unhealthy traits.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I found BYC while researching for my chickens, and I've known about it for several months. As soon as I became old enough to join I did! I have many (probably ridiculous) questions and I hope to learn a lot!
