Chick-N-Daddy
Songster
OK not really, but close enough. I opted for a fairly early retirement and turned my back on the rest of the world. I now have a place in the middle of nowhere which cost next to nothing to purchase, and hardly anything to operate.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
We had chickens for a while when I was a kid, but overall pretty new to keeping em.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Just started my flock with 6 sexed pullet chicks in mid-Sept. 5 survived that first night - sadly I lost my SS chick and not one of the spare Delaware or Buff Orpington.
(3) What breeds do you have?
Ordered (via ChickensForBackyards.com):
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
Random Googliness while conducting research.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
*SOME* of my other hobbies include 3D printing, building SciFi models, robotics, micro-controllers... I've actually been cutting back.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
Formerly I was a fairly competent computer guy.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
This is a bit of a repeat of question of #4. Random Googliness while conducting research. Specifically a) chicken poop and b) sexing chicks (but not in that 'NSFW' way).
Watch for chick pix, but be aware that transmissions from Mars can be problematic.
