Hi there!

[vakiiki]

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?

Yes, I am researching as I am about to get a little flock soon

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

0, hoping for at least 4 in the next few months

(3) What breeds do you have?

None, that is one of the things I am researching about. I want to make sure I get the right ones for our family.

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?

I think the fact that you can have a source of food and entertainment in your backyard

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

I play piano and sing, I love cooking and learning new things

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.

We are a family of 5, moving to the country (in Spain!) , and about to get a dog and chickens to begin with,

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?

I have seen it mentioned in a few places before, but today I saw it again on a chicken coop plan website, so here I am!

Welcome to BYC! You will love chickens! They are such fun to observe. If I knew then, I would have started with brahma hens. They are just so easy and laid back. Like dogs with feathers and bonus eggs.

Thank you for your advice. I was thinking about doing that. I don't want to find myself with a bunch of chickens and no place to put them . Do you know of a good chicken coop plan?
