4 buff orpingtons, 1 Plymouth Rock, 1 australorp and I am not sure on what my rooster is.

Google

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

Hunting, fishing and diy projects

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

My husband and I recently purchased a house and acreage so that we could hunt and raise some chickens and maybe raise some goats in the future.
We have 2 labs and I am a stay-at-home wife.

I do hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

You might want to also Find Your State Thread and pop in and say hello.

Personally, I have found the Topic of the Week articles a great resource and a one stop shop for questions which may have already been discussed within the BYC membership group.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out

Best wishes for a bright and cheerful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
