1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I got 32 little chicks back in April!

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I have 26 chickens.
3 roosters
23 hens
We gave away our 5 silkie roosters, three hens have been hit by cars (rip), and we found a new rooster in our barn a couple weeks ago!

(3) What breeds do you have?
I have 3 silkies, 12 isa browns, 10 sexed links, and one mystery rooster

(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
I was looking up how to take care of my chickens and ever since I've been seeing this site a lot and thought I should just make an account!

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I love crafts

Glad you're here !

If you haven't yet, please make your poultry a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise.
It's definitely better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it.

Also, make sure your coop(s) have a proper amount of VENTILATION. Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!

One last thing, please get your chickens some Vaseline or bag balm to stave off frostbite before they get it! Baby, it's cold outside!

You can post photos of your ? rooster at "what breed or gender is this," and the folks there should be able to sort him out.
