Finally set up an account. I've been learning from this website for quite a while but wanted to be able to ask questions and maybe answer any questions for people newer to chickens than me. I live on Vancouver Island and have had chickens for just over two months. Its funny but I really enjoy having chickens, I spend a lot of time learning about them.
All my chickens are layers. The first batch I bought about 10 weeks ago was 8 unsexed chicks: 1 australorp, 1 ameraucana, 1 white cochin, 1 dark brahma, 2 danish brown leghorns and 2 buff brahmas. The second batch I bought (about 7 weeks ago) was six sexed chicks: 2 barred rock, 2 columbian rock and 2 rhode island reds.
I'm 30 years old and right now its just my wife, my dog, myself and our chickens. We live in B.C. Canada. Luckily I have about the gentlest dog out there and he has no interest in harming the chickens so they can roam around without fear.
