In the Brooder
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I'm relatively new to chickens. I live with my boyfriend's family and the chickens belong to his mother. I started getting involved when my two chicks were born last year (Baby and Peepsy) and we got a new flock about 5 months ago and ever since I've been very involved with the chickens. However, I'm really ignorant about how to take proper care of them and I'm hoping to get a lot of tips to help me keep my girls as healthy as possible.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
We have 9 chickens right now, last week we sadly lost our two oldest ones, one of them being our roo. We have Baby, Peepsy, Janine, Melody, Ingelore, Lola, Esme, Hildegard, and Debby.
(3) What breeds do you have?
That's maybe one of my first questions, I don't know all of their breeds! My mother in law bought them and I guess she didn't find it important to check the breed. I know for a fact that:
Janine: Red Star
Debby: Polish
Ingelore: Rock Chicken (There's so many kinds and to me they all look the same whoops)
The other six are a mystery to me, I'll have to report back with pictures.
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
I was already googling tips for chicken care and the website popped up and eventually I had too many questions and decided to just make an account!
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I like roller skating, yoga, and gardening.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I'm an American but I live in Germany with my boyfriend's family so I'm fluent in both English and German. I have three cats but one of them is my special boy, Gizmo. I'm a dental assistant in training and will get my certification in 2019!

We are glad you joined our flock.
