1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am new to chickens. I had 4 last year for 2 months that got taken by a predator. That was hard. I bought 4 chicksin April 2022, added 2 sex links and an older Americauna.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
6
(3) What breeds do you have?
1 Australorp, 1 Speckled Sussex, 2 Americauna, 1 ISA Brown, 1 Red Sex link
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
I enjoy their personalities and of course eggs.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I coach figure skating and am a Water ski show team member.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I have a daughter and my parents enjoy helping me with the chickens when they can.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
Unfortunately I had a chicken with (what I didn’t know at the time) gapeworm. I found your group searching for possible answers to what was wrong with my chicken I found out too late and I wasn’t able to help her. Now I’m deworming the rest of the flock and hopefully I’m on the right track. I’ve searched through here and found excellent and caring information and am honored to be part of this community to learn as much as I can.
