[Canetj3350]

1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Yes! Sorta? We've had our chickens approximately 8 or 9 months now.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
9 plus 1 3/4 bitties? Poor thing. More on him later.

(3) What breeds do you have?
Austrawhites, Bard Rock, Leg Horn, and Rhode Island Reds.

(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
Google

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Gardening, food preservation, and cooking.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
In all honesty, I'm the wife Heather and I am NOT the chicken farmer! That title belongs to my husband and oldest son! I am, however, an eggsellent research assistant! I also assist with any medical issues...hence why I'm here!
