6

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 didnāt 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 wasnāt able to help her. Now Iām deworming the rest of the flock and hopefully Iām on the right track. Iāve 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.
