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

The eggs and having them as pets. i don't think i could ever Cull a chicken

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

I am a member of BYC on Facebook and i was searching for catalogs to get more familar with stuff and planning and came across your group. I also looked and found your app. For my cell phone.
 
You've certainly come to a great place to learn about all aspects of chickens and chicken raising. I hope you and your husband get a place soon where you can have all the Silkies and Polish chickens that you want.

If you haven't already checked into them, Faverolles are a nice, friendly, cool-looking breed you might like. My Salmon Favs are pretty laid back and have the typical fluffy faces and legs -- along with the extra toes!

Welcome to BYC, NinaSmithers!

Unfortunately, it is a fact of poultry keeping. Sometimes they get sick or injured and you must let them go to end their suffering. If you start allowing broodies to set eggs, it isn't practical for most chicken keepers to keep all the males. They must be removed from the flock as well but they can go to other flocks, not necessarily a freezer.
