(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? My 20 year old daughter wanted chickens to show in 4H for her 9th birthday! We retrofitted the old wooden playset and have had chickens ever since but they are mine now!
(2) How many chickens do you have right now? 8 hens and 1 bantam rooster
(3) What breeds do you have? A variety! Rainbow layers, Golden Laced Wyandottes, bantam rooster is red but don't know the breed, Buff Orphington. I miss my leghorn and Ameracaunas!
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? They are fun to watch and I love the eggs!
(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Sewing, crafts, home dec, chickens, horses, dogs, cats
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. I have been an occupational therapist for 34 years, have been married for 26 years and have 2 daughters ages 20 and 22 who were 10 year 4H members in rabbits, chickens, horses, and other non-animal projects. My husband works in IT and is a reserve sheriff's deputy and on the mounted patrol for the sheriff's dept.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community? I joined in 2011 and was looking for coop ideas. Got busy with life, family, breast cancer, orthopedic surgeries and saw a post today and reset my password and am back!
