You could say I am “new” to BYC from an “official” stand point, but BYC is far from “new” to me! I have been the “creeper” peeking in through the windows of the internet, utilizing the the great wisdom passed down from BYC chicken enthusiast to another...shamefully, for YEARS. I am coming clean now, in my first, introductory. I hope that in the near future, I can atone for my “selfishness” by at LEAST giving back to this great community, some of the wisdom I have gleaned off of this site (and from “experience” ) for the last, many years. Here I will answer a few questions about myself:(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Depends on what you consider “new” (sorry, that’s the wannabe “Sociology Major” in me speaking.) I’ve been incubating and raising flocks for over 5 years.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
= 2 in chicken math.
= IDK in human math.
(3) What breeds do you have?
Blue Cochins
Lavender Orpingtons
Silver-laced Polish
RIR
Buff Orpingtons
Serama
Ameraucanas
Black Australorps
Easter Eggers
Too many breeds to list...
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
I LOVE their personalities. They are so entertaining to watch.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Horses, rescuing animals, raising 3 daughters, learning foreign languages & helping others in my community.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I have a wonderful husband from Guatemala who LOVES animals like me , 3 beautiful daughters and 3 beautiful step-daughters (4 = teenagers right now
- Lawd have mercy), 5 rescue horses, 3 rescue ferrets, 8 rescue dogs, 4 rescue cats. You can say we like “rescuing things” and giving them a loving home. (7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I have known BYC ever since I bought my first high production reds through many Google searches asking questions that would lead to threads on here.
I finally joined because it’s about time to give back a little from all of the help this site has given to me! Love BYC!!!
