Hi everyone just wanted to introduce myself I'm a mama from Canberra, Australia and just starting out in the garden for first time looking to meet others who keep a garden/chickens etc, we just got our 4 new chicks yesterday and are extremely excited!
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
first had chickens when I was little girl living rural country, but My first chickens since I been grown were first a rooster someone didn't want, then 5 x battery/rescue hens that were no longer wanted by the people who rescued them (kinda just happened one day, I had chickens lol) I'm prob 95% new to this.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
4 baby chicks :-D
(3) What breeds do you have?
2 wynedotte bantams, 1 jungle fowl and 1 lucky dip chick.
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
same way I find out about everything... google :->
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
local aquarium society, I breed fishies, general mum stuff, like rockabilly princess style, ink, being artistic, now I am super keen on learning a better lifestyle and getting out in the yard seems a good place to start?
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I have 6 aquariums, mostly full of catfish. one beautiful 7 year old daughter, just trying to learn as much as I can about keeping my bokboks in a happy, healthy, but most cost effective way possible.
love to get in touch with others owning chickens/growing fruit/veg gardens, southern region Aussies especially, to find how to help chickens cope with the freezing winters and scorching summer days, make general chit chat etc, I have lots that I want to learn!
