Introducing myself!

[Naomi_Simons]

Hi,

Already posted a question but then saw I need to do a proper introduction first, so here we go!

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Not anymore. Thus is my first year of keeping chickens so I would consider myself intermediate at this point.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Seven adult ones and six 8 week old chicks.

(3) What breeds do you have?
- I have one old adopted unspecified brown hen.
- There are two Cochin chickens
- Two Silkies
- Two Cream Legbar

The chicks are three Marans and three Olive eggers (supposedly, see other post for details).


(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

Gardening mostly in ky vegetable garden 🪏 and running.

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I found this through excessively googling info about olive eggers, sexing chicks etc.

Hi Naomi, loved seeing your pictures. Thanks for joining us!

Your flock is gorgeous (I ADORE Cochins), and so are the cats!

BTW, my Olive Eggers is one of those rare girls who doesn't lay olive-colored eggs, although the eggs she does lay are Huge.

Welcome to BYC, Naomi!

Welcome to BYC, Naomi!

Thank you

And I guess anything can happen with these cross breeds.
Can't wait to see what eggs mine will lay, assuming and hoping there's at least one girl in there
