Hi everyone! I'm new here but have been using this amazing resource for a few weeks and decided I must sign up! Here are the answers to the topic questions for you!

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes I am new to chickens! I got 6 Easter egger chicks in July and they are now almost 8 weeks old.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now? I've got 6!

(3) What breeds do you have? All Easter Eggers

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? So far the experience my 7 year old is having with them. He LOVES them and is an amazing chickie caretaker. It's something we've done together and I've added their daily chores to his routine. He loves them and they love him!

(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Gardening, writing, playing my guitar and ukulele and anything outside!

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I'm a Colorado native and have one kiddo who is 7. I work from home doing boring remote stuff but we enjoy many activities that Colorado has to offer. I'm 38 years old and my name is Chelsea!

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?

Welcome chels!! :frow
1) We've had chickens for about 2 years now.
2) Currently got 5 hens - we hatched out two of them and then bought 3 more.
3) Not actually completely sure as the bought ones are kinda crosses. We hatched a buff and light sussex, and bought two black ones (which we think are crosses with rhode island reds??) and a very pretty blue plymouth rock.
4) Love hatching them out! Also when they come running for treats. 🤣
5) Not really any...sometimes gardening...also got quails and finches. I like music and hands-on things - e.g. building a broody box.
6) Got a family of 6.
7) Been using it for ages to look up queries about chickens and quails and everything in between! Been a member for a few months now - maybe 5/6??
