(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Yes I'm new. Got my first 4 chicks in April. After 2 up and died I decided to get "older" girls.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now? I currently have 11 girls. Veronica, Betty, Blonde, Blackie, Ruby, Sugar, Spice, Everything, Nice, Little Peep and Fluffy Butt (who might be a Roo).

(3) What breeds do you have?
Several EEs, 1 OE, 2 Buff Orps, a Gold Laced Wyandotte, a Leghorn, a Cuckoo Marans, a Silkie and a Silver Laced something.

(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com? Google and Pinterest

(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Painting, Hunting and Fishing.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. - I work in the field of Animal Care Services. I have a son and one cat. And I'm here to get as much info as I can for my "girls". Thanks!
