Hi All,

As the title says it, we are new members ans new chicken owners from Austalia.

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes / April 2017

(2) How many chickens do you have right now? 4 but will be buying 2 more in the next month or so.

(3) What breeds do you have? 2 x ISA Brown, 1 x Plymoth Rock, 1 x Light Sussex (next on the list are 2 x Silkies for the kids to play with)

(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com? Google search showed us and the forums gave us lots of knowledge

(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Raising chickens now, apart from that we chase after a 2yo and 4yo.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. We have an indoor cat that ignores the chickens. 2 younglings (2 & 4).

happy to be onboard the chicken train.

Daniel & Katrina
