Hi, thanks for having me. Here's a quick intro:
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Had bantams as a kid. Got some chooks for eggs about 10 years ago and can't seem to stop.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Bit of a mixed bag of hens:
The youngsters:
The babies:
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
Being able to sit and watch them do their thing. They are such interesting creatures with fabulous social dynamics!
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I like making stuff. Can be pretty much anything from woodworking to sewing and all manner of random things in there. I also like growing stuff, although my veggie garden is proof of not much skill.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
Family of four humans and we also have sheep, a goat, a dog, two cats and a bearded dragon. We live just outside of Brisbane (northside).
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
The interwebs.
