(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I am new to chickens! I've wanted them for years and finally did the research to see if I could have them.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Zero, but per my zoning regulations, I can have up to 6. Per my husband, 4 sounds good. To start. =D

(3) What breeds do you have?
My wish list is Jubilee Orpington, Black Australorp, Cuckoo Maran (silver or gold), and an Easter Egger. If I can go beyond 4, I love the silver or black lace Wyandottes... or a silver penciled Plymouth Barred...

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
I want an excuse to be outside more, have fresh eggs, and listen to chickens clucking outside my window.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I'm a crafter (mostly crochet, various embroidery, and anything else I can try).

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
Married with 4 cats and 2 dogs. I am lucky to work from home.

(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 been seeing the forums come up in a lot of search results and I miss forums like this!
