(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Not brand new, but certainly still learning. We have had a small backyard flock for 2 years now, but we are looking to get a little bigger.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
We currently have 7 hens, but just brought home 5 chicks to add to the flock.

(3) What breeds do you have?
A variety. Rhode Island Reds, Buff Orpington, Plymouth Rock, Australorp, Brahma, Ameraucana, Easter Egger, and 1 Silkie Bantam

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
They are a welcome addition to our backyard. The seem to be helping with the insects and we certainly appreciate the eggs. I think it has helped my kids understand the responsibility of helping around the house and caring for animals.
 
:welcome we are so gkad you've decided to join our flock! :jumpy
Do you have any pictures of your birds?

My wife has all the pics of our big girls, but here are 3 new additions.
RIR, Light Brahma, Sicilian Buttercup.

I'm jealous of that Buttercup, I wanted to get one but I don't feel like I have enough ranging room for them.

We have a fenced in acre that our girls are welcome to explore. Other than very bad weather, they are out and about from sunrise to sunset. Every so often, one or 2 get a little adventuresome and visit the neighbor, but he is raising ducks and enjoys the visits.
