(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
We are new to chickens. We moved from the city into the county with a little over an acre of pastured land in April 2018. We started our flock in August 2018
(2) How many chickens do you have right now? We have 12 chickens right now and of course we'd love to add more!!
(3) What breeds do you have? Rhode Island Red, Buff Orpington, Black Sex Link, Wyandotte, Polish and Silkie.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? Learning. People look at chickens and think that they are ignorant birds. I'm learning that chickens are actually quite brilliant. They have individual personalities. I love them all their quirky differences and they make my heart so happy.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Ummmm......
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. I am married and we have 3 boys (14, 11 and 2). We moved out of the city with hopes of teaching the boys some self-sustaining life skills. We were so bleesed to find a house with some land to rent. We didn't want to make long term commitments and we are starting out slow and small because we weren't sure if this lifestyle was for us. So we started a small flock and got 2 cats to take care of the mice.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community. This community pops up everytime I google anything chicken related!
