I’m Brittany and I first started my love for chickens at my dad’s chicken farm as a kid. He raises meat birds and has over 20,000 chickens in each house. I tried meat birds and processed them myself. I then traded the meat birds for egg layers. I’ve had chickens, turkeys, ducks, and guineas.

I currently have a smaller flock of 6 hens, one roo, two runner ducks, and two Toulouse geese. I’ve never owned geese before and I am enjoying watching them grow. I let them free range in the yard and I love my little posse of greeters when I go outside.

I’m really bad at writing about myself so I am answering some of the questions too.


(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I first got chickens when I was 20, so I have had them for about 16 years.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now? 7

(3) What breeds do you have? Silkie, buff Brahma, buff Orpington, Easter egger, 2 ISA brown, and araucana

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? The endless entertainment.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Fishing, snowboarding, shooting

“I let them free range in the yard and I love my little posse of greeters when I go outside.” ME TOO!! Geese running towards you every time you go outside is THE BEST!
So nice to meet you. Welcome to BYC!!
