Introducing me: Before increasing my flock, I'd like to learn what I don't know I need to know.

[PamCamp]

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Grew up with them, waited 50 years..rescued a rooster and 3 geese to start
(2) How many chickens do you have right now? Technically 1 + geese

(3) What breeds do you have? Australorp + Talouse and Embdens

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? Eggs

(5) What are some of your other hobbies? I run a pet rescue that has accidentally started a small backyard farm

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community.

another of your members, a friend of mine, recommended this on another forum

Welcome to the BYC family!
Would is the first, most important thing to you, to learn about?

Do you know about proper food?
Do you have predator proof housing?

I love that you "accidentally" started a backyard farm! I understand how that could happen. I moved to the country to accommodate four miniature goats. That was many goats, sheep, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks and geese ago.

BTW, there are some really knowledgeable geese folks at BYC who have been ever-so-helpful with my American Buffs.

Welcome to our flock, PamCamp!
