(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
In March of 2017 I bought 6 chicks and managed to get 5 of them to adulthood. Lost one that was runty and never quite like the rest. Of course one thing lead to another and I now have 13 hens and a rooster (a mistake)
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
As I said 14 chickens.
(3) What breeds do you have?
I have a mixture, sex links, buff orpingons, banty, and americaunas
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
A friend who sort of talked me into getting chickens in the first place.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I breed and show AKC registered Chihuahua's. I sometimes have pet puppies for sale--they can't all be show dogs.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I am a single, older woman, I work FT as a Counselor in an world renonwn addiction center. I have dogs, which was the main reason for the chickens. I got an infestation of ticks and tried everything to get rid of them with no luck. The outside seems much better, however they are in my house and really continue to struggle to get rid of them there. I had no idea that chickens had such personalities. When I was a very little child I remember my grandmother having chickens (a lot of them) but of course being small I don't remember anything about them or what she did with them.
