Hi! I wanted to introduce myself and say hi to new and old members alike. I look forward to reading posts & learning a lot about our new chickens 
1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Our family just got chickens early this spring. While I had a few wild bantys growing up on my parents farm this is my first foray into raising tame chickens for eggs.
Initially, my husband was against the idea of having chickens until my daughter’s best friend brought us some eggs from their chickens. My husband was won over by the superior quality of the eggs and gave us the go ahead!
(2) How many chickens do you have right now? (3) what breeds do you have?
We have 13 total chickens (12 pullets & 1 cockerel) at the moment. We have:
2 Silver Laced Wyandotte
2 Buff Orpington
1 Gold Sex Link
1 Black Sex Link
1 Favaucana
5 Easter Eggers
1 Buff Orpington cockerel
Bob the cockerel is soon to be rehomed if we can’t figure out how to make him behave peaceably with the human family members.
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
Googling information on our new chickens
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Sewing, crafts, gardening
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
My family consists of my husband, our daughter and myself along with an assortment of animals. 3 dogs, 4 cats, 3 horses & 13 chickens. We moved to our dream property about a year ago and have been enjoying country life!
