Eggscaping
Enjoying Life!
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
-completely new; just moved to a new house and ready to get started (mostly with quail, but chickens too!).
(Skip)
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
-being a producer instead of a consumer, raising happy/healthy poultry, eating healthy eggs and attaining as much self-sufficiency as I can.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
-reading, power lifting, World of Warcraft, crochet, sewing, and gardening even though I fail at it.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
-canine handler with three ferrets, a dog, and a cat. Married and a new homeowner.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
-I’ve known about BYC for a while after finding it through a google search on how to DIY chicken coops. I’ve been an on-and-off lurker for a few years now, and now that I’m finally been in a position to raise poultry, I’m looking to take the dive.
Extras: I’m looking forward to learning a lot from all you lovely people and making friends along the way.
