(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am inexperienced when it comes to chickens. I have wanted to have chickens for some time now but worked full-time until just recently. I've retired and now have time to devote to having a few hens. I don't have any chickens yet but have a coop.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now? zero- I want to learn the best breeds for our hot sunny Florida yard.
(3) What breeds do you have? none yet.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? I have always loved birds and have wanted chickens for a while now. The eggs will be wonderful, there is nothing like fresh eggs.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Computer nerd, music, video games.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
Married, kids all grown up. I am a nurse, retired now but will still work part-time. Work in a hospital setting. Have 4 dogs and one cat. Would love to have some chickens and goats someday.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I joined a backyard chicken group on Facebook and they sent me here for information! I just learned about this community today! I hope to learn what I need to be a good chicken tender... no pun intended. Well, maybe just a little intended. Seriously, I do want to learn all I can before I get some chicks. I want us (me AND the Chickens) to have a good experience and 'survive and thrive' here in central Florida.
