Hello! Thanks for adding me to your community.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Yes! My first group of chickens are currently 2 months old
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
8
(3) What breeds do you have?
I have 2 Lavender Marans, 4 Double silver laced Barnevelders, 1 Aracauna, and 1 who appears to be a mix and not sure what he is but he hatched from a blue egg!
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
I just like hanging out with the chickens! They are my friends. They are so funny and keep me entertained.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Running, kids sports on the weekends, sometimes going to church, and just generally being outside!
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
We are a family of 5 living in the Atlanta suburbs. My 6 year old son has decided he wants to be a farmer and so he inspired us to get chickens. So far most of the work has been done by myself and my husband though! We have 2 dogs (a Boykin spaniel and a Brittany Spaniel) and a grouchy orange cat. My husband and I both work from home so we get to hang out with our chickens a lot throughout the day.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
A lot of the questions about chickens that I've been googling have led me to your site! I thought that you guys might be able to help me ID the sex of some of my chickens and help with some other advice.
