(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I'm new to chicken keeping, I recently gotten my first 4 chickens last weekend.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Currently, I have 4. Since I'm new, I hope to have all 4 by the time they've fully grown up.
(3) What breeds do you have?
Unfortunately, I don't remember. I was able to buy them at a local hardware store that sells farming related equipment, which also has chicks as well. I wasn't able to get information on the breed, since I was pretty hyper focused on finally having chickens since we missed last year.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
I currently plan to raise them indoors, and yes, I know that is unconventional. Though this does easily solve problems of predators, can keep a better eye on them and other various reasons. I do understand this is not what people typically do, which I'm willing to go through solving some of the problems when having home chickens.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Playing video games, making art in various mediums, clothing making, cooking and baking.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I don't have any other pets, which is another reason why I plan for my chickens to be indoors. My bf and I cannot afford to have a pet, thus the chickens are a good option as a pseudo-pet. We hope to benefit from the eggs they lay, as well as having chickens to socialize.
Currently, my occupation is to stay at home being a "housewife", I'm male btw. My bf and I have been together for about 4 years, we live what is considered to be a more traditional life style, I guess you can say. Nonetheless, our traditional life style might not be for a long time because, before I moved in, I have saved a lot of money of my own to use on perusing my own means of higher education and starting a business of my own.
(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 only recently found out about BYC, I want to know more about keeping chickens and have plenty of my questions answered. I want to make sure I get, ideally, zero deaths of my current 4 chickens with how I plan to keep them. Though I will only know the answerers to my questions if I utilize this website and discuss on the various questions and topics I may bring up. I look forward to making more forum posts in the near future! (´｡• ◡ •｡`)
