Hi all!

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
This is my 2nd summer with hens

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
currently have 39 hens :)

(3) What breeds do you have?
30 BergBrown (basically just 'no name' brown hens) & 9 Columbian Rock Red cross

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
They are really entertaining & help me with my anxiety

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
gardening, dogs, art, gaming, puzzles

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I have 4 large breed dogs, and live on a pretty small 'hobby farm'. hoping to get goats next year.

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community? :D
Found BYC while googling some questions about hens early last year. Everyone on here seemed to be really helpful and friendly. I've come back time and time again because of the amount of really good information here... so today, I figured I might as well join
 
Welcome fellow Canuck! :frow This is my first year with chickens. We actually did have them many years ago for a year but didn't really know much about them then. This time, with the help of BYC, I know a lot more about what to be doing. Glad you joined.

Hi there! Thanks for the welcome :)
Last summer was kind of a 'warm up' for raising birds I guess.. This year, I find myself completely addicted to them and cant seem to have enough haha!
I'm glad to be here! Tons of information and you guys all seem really helpful/friendly :)

Hi, and welcome to BYC!
39 birds is good for someone who's only had them for 2 years. Good job!
We're all so glad that you've decided to join. If you need help, all you have to do is ask!
