(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
We’re raising our first backyard flock now. They’re about 18 weeks old. Hoping for eggs soon! My 11-yr-old daughter wanted chickens so badly, so they were her birthday gift. She’s the main caretaker.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
19, 18 hens and 1 rooster named Oops
(3) What breeds do you have?
Buff Orpington, Easter Egger, Blue Andalusian, Buckeye, and Cream Legbar
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
Watching them! They provide so much entertainment.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I love to garden, too
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I’m an herbalist and homeschooling mom to 8. My website is A Better Way to Thrive for those interested in natural health.
(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 it while searching for advice. Being new, everything feels like a big deal but there’s been such good advice here!
