Hello All! I live in Las Vegas and have for my whole life.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? My wife had chickens in our BY in downtown Vegas for about 8 or 9 years. We inherited a half acre lot thats zoned for livestock a couple of years ago and our middle son rents the house, I'm a sucker for feed store peepers so I would bring them home raise them up then sneak up to the other property and "introduce" them to the flock. My son kept asking my wife where all the chickens were coming from!
(2) How many chickens do you have right now? About 20
(3) What breeds do you have? Light Brahma Roo, two easter egger hens, two pretty little miniature roos, a red roo, two silkie hens, a red hen, two checkered hens, a easter egg X Brahma, a checkered X Red and probably a couple more hidin in the bushes somewhere. Oh and 5 ducks and 4 rabbits.
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com? Surfin the web
(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Bird Dogs, tryin to create a micro farm(LOL), hunting,
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. I'm an electrician and my wife owns an exotic bird shop. She has been hand feeding baby parrots for years and specializes in African Greys. We have three grown sons 21, 24, and 26.
