Hello, all. I've used this forum so regularly for excellent info over the last three years that I didn't realize I hadn't yet signed up until I had a question to ask myself! I thought it appropriate to introduce myself first.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Chicken owners since 2021.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
We started with 12 hens, and they eventually became 4 through predator attrition (free rangers). We added 15 chicks four months ago, two of which turned out to be cockerels.
(3) What breeds do you have?
Black Australorps, Buff Orpingtons, Americanas, Golden Lace and Silver Lace Wyandottes, and one Rhode Island Red.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
Closer to our food, responsibility for the kids, healthy eggs, and watching their natural ways.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Woodworking, camping, home improvement
