(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes, we are a new class in our school. We incubated eggs in our classroom and hatched them last spring.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now? 8

(3) What breeds do you have? We have 3 Seramas and the rest are a mystery. We ordered a mixed batch of eggs from an Etsy seller to incubate in our classroom. We think a couple are roosters, but are unsure.

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? The class loves collecting the eggs and holding the chickens.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Gardening and outdoor activities.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. I am a middle school teacher with one period of Agriculture. My class is helping me with this post. We are excited to learn.

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community? :DI have been following it for over a year as we figure out the ins and outs of raising chickens. It has been a wonderful resource.

Sadly, two neighborhood dogs broke through the school's chain-link fence and the chicken coop, killing all of our class chickens. The kids are devastated. The only survivor was our little Serama rooster, Steve. His two serama ladies were killed along with the rest of the flock. :(

So sorry to hear about the losses. That's tough for anyone, especially your school kids.
