Hi. I'm Holly, and I'm your not so typical teenage girl. I've taken up the hobby of hatching and raising assorted types of birds. Some may think they're smelly, but they're my life. <3 (I also can't smell anything. :p)

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I first started out with chickens in the 2nd grade, actually. My father bought me two little brown chicks from the feed store. Both ended up being Rhode Island Red roosters. However, they were both very sweet, and allowed me to carry them like dolls despite having long spurs.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I have three.

(3) What breeds do you have?
A Golden Sebright rooster, Light Brahma hen, Ameraucana chick

(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
Internet. I've looked up some problems my goose was having, and founds some topics here.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I don't really do much. I tend to write sometimes, but that's about it. Collecting all the Pokemon counts... right?


(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
Umm. I have quite a few others animals normal people wouldn't consider pets. I have a Chinese Goose, that I'm going to use a an emotional support animal once he's full grown. I also have a Khaki Campbell duck. I have a few Cockatiel eggs in the incubator right now, if that counts. The parents have had around four clutches so far, and they just continue to break the eggs before the poor things even have a chance. I also have 10 refrigerated chicken eggs in the incubator, so fingers crossed I'll at least get one chick. I know they've been around a rooster, so wish me luck~
 
Sending good hatching vibes your way

Hello Holly and welcome to BYC!

So glad you could join our community!

Sounds like you have a lovely flock of all kinds of birds! I hope they continue to bring you great joy.

Make yourself at home here on BYC. There are lots of other teenagers here on BYC. You will run into many of them here in the forums.

Enjoy all of your babies and welcome to our flock!
 
Thank you all so much~! I didn't expect to get any replies so quickly. This sure is a warm welcome. :p I wish I would have joined way sooner.
 
Hey there Holly! Welcome, like you I just joined today and wished I had joined a while back but it sounds like you have had far more chicken experience than I have though. So looking forward to hearing more about your experiences in the future. I wish you luck with your hatching !

Oh, thank you. At least I'm not the only newbie then. I'll have to keep you all updated on my eggs then~ Maybe a few people will enjoy seeing the pictures at least. And I actually just collected another Cockatiel egg. (While almost getting bit, of course.)
 
Cockatiels can be biters can't they! I used to keep lots of Cockatiels and Lovebirds. Just lost my last boy to old age of 17 years 2 weeks ago. I was a mess last week!

Good luck with your hatch!
 
Welcome to BYC! Thanks for the very nice and thorough introduction to yourself. This is the place to be if you're into poultry. Good luck with your flock.
