(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? 2 years ago for this flock, but have been with chickens all my life. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? Just 13. But also have 9 bronze turkeys, 2 Toulouse Dewlap geese, 7 ducks, a cow, a dog, a cat and a partridge in a pear tree. (3) What breeds do you have? Silkies, Mille Fluer D’uccl, golden lace Orpingtons, Pekin, Cayuga and Muscovy ducks. (4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? They are all so beautiful and are kind of like therapy, just make me happy. (5) What are some of your other hobbies? I am currently a nursing student and that pretty much takes all my time. (6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. I am married to the same great man for 22 years, we have 3 kids and 1 grandson.
