[Sitric]

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?

New.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?

Planning phase.

(3) What breeds do you have?

Will want lay and some meat chickens for barter.

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

Community. Accomplishment. Self-sustaining

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

Hiking.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.

I have been assisting my neighbor with raising chickens and I am going to branch out on my own. Currently we own two dogs, Mabel and Mister. Mister came from always saying " Mr. , Mr. " to him and one day it just became Mister. I am beginning to transition to living off the land and away from the big cities.

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

I was looking for information on sizes to make a coop, and stumbled upon this community.

Hello, welcome to BYC. I applaud you for preparing beforehand. Too many people buy chicks and then realize they are not prepared.
