Hi! My name is Nadia. I live in south Louisiana. I have ALWAYS wanted fancy chickens (think Martha Stewart and her beautiful flock and dream coop, LOL)
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Very new. Got our first chicks from Tractor Supply on Thursday March 18th. I have also ordered some eggs and have the incubator warmed, stabilized and ready for their arrival. This will be our first time hatching too.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now? 10. Started out with 12 (had 2 fatalities so far)
(3) What breeds do you have? bantams (definitely 2 golden Sebright, and hoping for brahmas, cochins & D'uccles)
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com? Google looking for pics of chicks and care of them
(5) What are some of your other hobbies? raising Devon Rex cats, photography, gardening, horses & homeschooling my 2 boys
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I have 2 boys. My oldest is 10 and has cerebral palsy (uses a wheelchair) and my 6 year old is neuro-typical, lol. I homeschool them because of my 10 year old's hectic therapy and doctor schedule. We love it and schooling has become so efficient and liberating now. Flexibility is a must for us.
We have 4 horses, 1 dog (who is my 10 year old's service dog), 1 barn cat, 3 leopard geckos,and 3 Devon Rex cats + 5 Devon Kittens.
