Normally I'm long winded and never shut up about myself so to avoid prattling on unprompted, I'll just go ahead and use the suggested questions.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I dabbled in the past, but those ended up being my dad's birds. A friend offered me all of his because he was moving and I guess he felt comfortable enough with me and asked if I wanted them, which I did. I have the space and have wanted birds for a while, gladly took up the charge.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Five hens, soon to be five hens and a rooster
(3) What breeds do you have?
Truly do not know, but they're pretty. A few separate breeds.
Also with at least one being an easter egger
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
So far it's been introducing my wife and kid to them. They're taking to them well.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Frankly, I'm a dork. Hunting, fishing, slingshots, shooting sports, (dabbled in) gardening, occasionally video games and TTRPGs, and shooting my mouth off on online forums. My main haunt is my state specific hunting forum.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I've a wife and a boy, he'll be 4 in April. I've had quite the 20s so far, being 27 and already having gotten married, gotten through and enlistment in the Marine Corps, gotten and beaten cancer(Esophageal. I know, old man cancer, usually. But I'm lucky like that), and started working at the post office as a clerk, got a career position just in late 2023 after I got back from dealing with the cancer. I like to say I'm the luckiest unlucky man I know.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
My father told me this was probably one of the best places to find good information about my gals and how to make them as happy as I can.
