Hi all! I am Dainty Bess!
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I was given chicks as a housewarming gift when we moved to our farm six years ago. I had never had chickens before, and didn't even like birds in general, but now I am obsessed. I especially love roosters and have begun fostering and socializing them. The other farmers out here call me a rooster whisperer.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I have two roosters and sixteen hens. In my wildest dreams I have so many more chickens, but really there is only so much of me to go around. I don't think hoarding would be fun.
(3) What breeds do you have?
Ameracaunus, Red Star, Ayam Cemani, Barred Rock, Blue Laced Wyandotte, and Golden Laced Wyandotte.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
I love their personalities and how affectionate they can be. I love earning their trust and watching them be chickens.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I make videos... often about chickens.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
My parents live with my husband and I. We have a farm dog and a chihuahua. We also have three barn cats, turned house cat.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I've been following BYC for advice for several years. I'm finally joining, because I have a weird question. :0
