Hi Everyone from Central Texas

[Chicka Chicka Boom Boom]

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I got Chickens last year for the first time. Growing up my grandpa had a farm and there were always chickens running around... however I have only owned my "Urban Flock" for a little over a year.... (but now I am addicted to all things chicken.... )

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
6... but we are planning on moving the end of the year to a place with more land so I can triple that...at least.

(3) What breeds do you have?
Polish, Serama, Sultan, Americana, Production Red and Barred Rock

(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
It showed up on many of my searches that I have done when looking up anything "Chicken"

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I am an avid gardener, crafter, furniture repurpose/refurbish

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
We have two cats, a pug, some fish and the mini flock of chickens.
