I'll start with the standard questions then tell you more
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? - I am not new to chicken. my grandpare
nts had farms and raised all sorts of animals. Got my first horse before i could walk and stayed with it when it dies and it broke my heart. I began trying chickens out about 7 years ago. First I got easter egg chickens.. they were killed by a rogue cat who knew how to dig a hole (dad gum cat) second I got same thing.. easter eggers and felt they were better at a farm they are with a family friend and honestly I havent asked about them in a while... So now MUCH MUCH later I researched and decided I needed the cutest fluffiest pet chickens I could find... I dont want to kill them and eat them later just reaaaallllyyyyyy love animals. Not a vegan and yes I still eat chicken.. just not my own.. I have had my current flock about 9 months and yes i LOVVVVEEEE them.. like bathe them, snuggle them, take way too many pictures an videos of them, and completely go off on anyone who says Silkies are ugly... LIKE GO STRAIGHT TO..... you know..
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?- Let me count... I have 7 mature mixture of colored silkie adultish chickens... 7 that are 3 weeks old.. and 15 freshly hatched (within the last 24 hours) mix of frizzle, sizzle, and silkie cutest babies ever... although 2 might not make it or may be special needs. I am incubating 15 more white silkies and no i don't plan on keeping them all... I actually only want about half of what I got going... I will certainly keep my special needers if they make it.. ALL of my adults which are 3 males and 4 females.. and about half of the babies I have hatched and am currently hatching... I want a mixture of the best chickens ever... which, of course, all mine are!!
(3) What breeds do you have?- I have Silkie Bantams, Frizzle and Sizzles
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?- Well I researched everything about chickens before I ordered from the hatchery and almost EVERY article and forum was BYC.. cant say I regret finding this website. I have learned about vent cleaning, prolapsed vents, improper digestive growth and how to hatch from the hen to the incubator... I love the knowledge on this website.. Everything I googled always ends up here!! I love it!!!
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?- Hobbies include working on cars.. classic to current.. Riding dirbikes, riding my longboard, writing software (got a degree in software engineering), being a mom (yes hobby because i love it) to my actual kids and my pets ( i have a parakeet, 4 fish, a baby turtle (rescue), a mini dog, and a super fat cat ( i cant keep him from eating too much)
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
Basically I really just enjoy life. I am single and my kids and pets and job are my absolute world. I live on the border of the country and city so I can have a taste of both worlds and I never go out an socialize even though i am a social BUTTERFLY.. yep wings and all.. lololol
I cant say that I am an expert on any of my pets because I google everything I find to be a potential problem (with any of them), but i am pretty knowledgeable on them.. I give my cat and dog vaccines myslef and foster other creatures.. uhhhh besides like snakes, rats, spiders, or bugs of any kind.. best forster ever was a chameleon... love em..
I basically love this community here.. BYC is full of very awesome people, who speak in languages i don't get sometimes but I still do what I can and ask about the rest!!! Hope to talk to you all soooooon!
So this is me, rambling me... Its because I type a million words a minute! lol....... And I want to thank all those threads that got me here!!! without you guys My chicks wouldnt have made it....
