(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
My kids have taken chickens in our local 4-H program for many years. A variety of bantams to raising broilers. They aged and can no longer be in 4-H so I wanted to get the type birds I wanted to raise.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Currently I have 5 hens and one rooster.
(3) What breeds do you have?
Rooster and 3 of the hens are Buckeyes, my main interest when I decided to get some. I also have 2 brown red ameraucan’s. I also have 2 leftover bantams from the kids projects that are living out there life here.
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
While researching coops and breeds and now use it first when I have a question, great resource!
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
As a kid we raised many types of animals and some day I hope to have the same on my place. I am a wanna be antiquer but mainly purchase items from my childhood I always wanted. Have a small garden and love to scrollsaw when I have time, but that need for time always seems out of reach. Lol
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I am married to the best wife a fella could ask for and we have 4 kids, 4 dogs, 2 cats and a rabbit. They all keep me busy. I am work in the computer field, have always considered myself as a nerd.
