Hi! Did Facebook close all the chicken forums or just the Canadian one? That's weird.

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
- Newish to chickens. I have had chickens for approximately 3 years.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
- Municipal bylaws only allow 4 chickens for my area, I am maxed out.

(3) What breeds do you have?
- Americana and Rhode Island Reds

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
- I grew up on decent sized hobby farm (40 acres) in a remote area on a small island. Now living in a city, chickens provide a sense of home.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
- Woodworking, fishing

(6) Anything else you'd like to share.
-

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
- Internet search when trying to find information about chickens.
- Known about the website for a couple of years.
- Decided to join now as the local chicken Facebook group for my area recently closed, it is nice to have a place a fairly inexperienced person can come and ask questions.

Welcome to BackYardChickens! So glad to have you here in our wonderful community of friendly, helpful, knowledgeable people!
