So glad you joined us at Backyard Chickens. We also have many dog lovers on here and I love your dogs. I used to show and breed Cocker Spaniels- at the peak had 14 adults and 13 puppies (mostly from"pick of the litter" choices, in lieu of stud fees.

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I Always wanted chickens but never had the space for them until recently. Our chickens were rescued from a backyard that bred roosters for fighting.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Right now i have 4

(3) What breeds do you have?
Dont know, but i can post picture. I would love to know what kind they are.

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
1 of the chickens is very sweet i called her henrietta ( i dont have much of an imagination lol) and of course fresh eggs daily :D

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I love decorating and helping my husband in his construction business

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
i have 2 adult children that live behind us, 2 rescued dogs..a german shepherd whos 7 and has had 2 hip surgeries and 1 knee surgery, so hes like an old man lol, a 5 month boxer mix that is my sons dog but hes always at my house. Every morning i open my back door and hes there. A 4 year old shih tzu..who also started off as my daughters dog but is bonded with my shepherd, sooooo is also at my house ALL THE TIME!
My daughter has a rescued rabbit, who is potty trained and does NOT live at my house, but i take her vegetable scraps and she loves me. She has full run of my daughters place. My sons fiance has a cat, whos the biggest cat Ive ever seen and grumpy as hell, even my shepherd wants nothing to do with him. 1 african grey that i bought my husband for his birthday as a baby 13 years ago. And now, the 4 chickens


(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 found BYB 4 months ago when i was trying to get all 4 hens to live in the same coop my husband made for them, til this day i could only house 2 together and separate the other 2 as they fight like roosters.
currently my sweetest hen is broody so i gave her 9 fertile eggs and shes been sitting on them for 1 week. So i have lots of questions.

Welcome to BackYardChickens! So glad to have you here in our wonderful community of friendly, helpful, knowledgeable people!
 
I just determined that 2 if the 4 hens we adopted are cubalayas or game fowl. One of them is the broody one. Pictures above. There's not much about them online. If anyone knows anything about them is love to hear it
