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

I've been raising chickens for the past two years but grew up with chickens when I was little

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

I currently have 3 adult hens, a Cochin named Bella, an Ameracauna named Nigel, and a little bantam mix named Buttercup. But I'm expecting 24+ Silkie eggs in the next few days.

(3) What breeds do you have?

I have a Cochin, ameracauna, and a mix hen plus silkies on the way
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?

Just came across it when reading about chickens lol

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

I enjoy gardening, sculpting, and reading

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

I'm 15 and live with my mom, step dad, sister, brother, two dogs, three cats, and 3 chickens. I'm currently unemployed but I am going to start breeding show quality silkies and maybe make a little bit of money from that, but it's definitely not about the money.
