(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I grew up with chickens as a kid, but first started keeping my own chickens about 10 years ago.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now? 16
(3) What breeds do you have? a bunch of different: australops, golden laced wyendotte, blue andelusian, new Hampshire red, wellsummer...
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com? I was looking for ideas to build our new coop and stumbled on this site. I'll post pictures of the coop once I've got it from functional to pretty.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies? farming, cycling, hiking, knitting, reading...
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. My husband and I recently moved our family (2 kids a dog and a cat) to Lopez Island WA.

We have the beginnings of a farm, just got the coop up, new flock of birds, working on the garden...
