(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am brand new. I got my chicks yesterday.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I have four, and I am stealthily considering increasing that number to six while my spouse is not paying attention
(3) What breeds do you have?
Easter Egger, Olive Egger, Rhode Island Red, and Cuckoo Maran
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
I am looking forward to fresh eggs, and having company in the back yard while I am gardening. They will be in a run.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I am an avid knitter and spinner. If my yard was a lot bigger, I would probably also have backyard sheep
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
We are a family of 6 humans, kids are 5-16 and we are homeschoolers. I have decided that this term, we will be learning about chickens. We have 4 cats, an angora rabbit, and two newts.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I have been reading articles off and on for about 6 years as I was contemplating getting hens. I kept waiting for us to have a larger space, and this year with the housing market being what it is, and us not getting any closer to getting more property, I decided that I would sacrifice a bit of my garden space for hens and get a plot at the community garden.
