Hi there, I'm a brand new chicken Mama in Penngrove, CA. I'm stealing Niffty Chicken's Intro template to help me out with this intro... :)

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


Yes, brand new! I've had my chicks for almost 4 weeks.

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

Four.

(3) What breeds do you have?


2 - Silver Laced Wyandotte, 1 - Gold Sex Link, 1- Barred Rock

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

I believe I'll enjoy mothering them the most. I'm interested in raising very happy and healthy chickens.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

I enjoy designing/building things and am a computer design/tech junkie. Other interests are permaculture and sustainable design principles.

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

I'm a professional fine artist, oil painter for a living. Married to a firefighter and we have a 10-year-old Golden Retriever, named Theo.

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

I found BYC via Googling "identifying the gender of baby chicks" Now you know what my next post will be about! :)

Photo is from 2 1/2 weeks ago when they turned 2 weeks old.
