Hi! Congrats on your new feather babies and welcome :)
1) We're still new to chickens. We got ours in March this year!
2) We have 7. Started off with 9... one was a roo so we had to say goodbye and one of our silkies died :( But as we've learned, it's common to lose one.
3) We've got a Welsummer, 2 Easter Eggers, a Barred Rock, a Barnevelder, a buff Silkie, and a Cream Brabanter. The Wels is so loud haha
4) I think the best part is definitely the eggs! We got our first one a little over a week ago and now every day has a surprise :) Especially since they all lay different colors
5) I'm a ceramics artist but I also do painting, drawing, tattoo design, and other art forms. We also have a lot of pets so you could call me a zookeeper as well haha + baking because who doesn't love some fresh baked yumminess
6) My fiancé and I are renovating our first house (slowly but surely). He's working from home because of covid so we have more time together now! We're planning our wedding and I'm planting the seed in his mind about getting another dog. We have 2 dogs right now... a mini Aussie (do not recommend) and a border collie (highly recommend and want another haha), a rabbit, a frog, many fish, 2 guinea pigs, and our chickens! We are also planning our garden... may be a fall project as it's a little hot in southeast Texas right now.
7) I found BYC because when we got our chicks there was a pecking issue that I needed help with... found some good advice here! Now I get on here at least twice a week and whenever I need help there's always someone to give advice :)
Welcome to the chicken life! It's great!!!
