1. Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
   I was raised with chickens in the 70s, so am not new to them, but have not had any for about 40 years. Came back to them in spring 2020.
2. How many chickens do you have right now?
   We have three chickens that were rescued from a commercial egg farm that went bankrupt. They are older and I expect them to stop laying any time now.
3. What breeds do you have?
   We just purchased 2 Delaware, 2 Silver Lace Wyandotte, 2 Golden Sex Link, and 1 Buff Orpington. We are waiting for a shipment of Frizzles to IFA this Friday and will add one of them (my youngest daughter really wants one).
4. What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
   The responsibility it teaches my four young children.
5. What are some of your other hobbies?
   Ham radio and woodworking.
