(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I've had chickens for around 15 years or so.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I have 7 chickens
(3) What breeds do you have?
At the moment isa browns, at least that's what I think they are. I'd like to get a couple of australorps as well.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
I love healthy fresh eggs and seeing them run up to me lie a flock of mini T rex's is cute.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I enjoy bush walking, gardening SCUBA diving, meditation and Yoga.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I work as a self employed trainer, coach and therapist at Australian institute of Self Development.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I googled an answer to a problem I had some years ago. I think about foxes. Over the years I have probably lost over 50 chooks to foxes and a couple to neighbors cats. Though I was able to get rid of 6 foxes, mainly with traps and snares. Having an automatic door has been helpful, but each automatic chicken door I have had has at some time failed causing the loss of my flock to foxes.
