took this from the introduction thread 
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
My family and I started a flock in 2014, and we’ve kept it up ever since. I don’t know what we’d do without our friends! they’re a constant source of happiness and of course delicious eggs!!!
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
We have 6, and we’ve kept it to that number since starting, if we went any bigger we’d have a whole operation! and we don’t need many to be happy with egg production so 6 is alright with us!
(3) What breeds do you have?
We started with rhode island reds, then switched to buff orpingtons as they are much hardier for where we live, and we only recently got a few lavender orpingtons and a lone americauna. orpingtons are my favorite breed, they’re so pretty <3
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I read a lot of books, history is one of my favorite subjects to read about. when I’m not reading I’m watching wrestling shows at a local indie promotion with my friends. other than that, I’m a chicken-tender!!!
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I have a yellow lab named Luna (I know, very original!
) and she’s turning 5 in December. she is an amazing hunting dog and she’s kept us fed for about 4 years now, retrieving many pheasants! I am currently working on bettering my physique so that I can begin wrestling training, the hope is to start in the next year!!
(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 you guys through the internet! I joined to hopefully gain insight on diseases in chickens. knock on wood we’ve had good luck with our chickens and we haven’t had many sicklings, but I’d like to learn more about what can go wrong so we can prevent that from happening with any other chickens we have!!!
