(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I have no chickens yet! I am just in the process of moving back to Citrus Heights from New York City, and I'm desperately craving a return to an agricultural setting. I plan on gardening and getting a few chickens, but at the moment i'm in the educational phase where I'm trying to learn about chickens.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
0-- nada. I hope to keep about 3-4 eventually.
(3) What breeds do you have?
This is where I hope to hear about the breeds people in the Sacramento area prefer. I'm sure heat is a factor in which breeds tolerate the climate. Open to hearing people's favorites.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
I'm excited by the prospect of fresh eggs. I also just love animals. I've had horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, mice, fish, donkeys, etc.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I used to ride horses, but don't have much time for that anymore. I also write fiction and love taking walks in nature.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I have a gentle little cat named "Fluffy" who is pretty much exactly how that name sounds.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I found the conversation about how keeping chickens in Citrus Heights came to be (THANK YOU!) and decided this would be a great community to get started learning about chickens before I get them.
