Hello everyone, I am a new member, but not new to the site. I have wanted to raise chickens for several years. but I didn't get started till I got a house out in the county.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am new to chickens. This is my first time raising them. I got my first chicks in April 2025.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I started with 12. One died, not sure what happened. So now I have 11.
(3) What breeds do you have?
Barred Rock, Easter Egger, Olive Egger, Black Star.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
Learning new skills in taking care of animals. I also learned how to build the coop and run.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Amateur radio and photography.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I have 3 dogs, 5 cats (most were found stray), 11 chickens, and a snake.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
Through a search engine, when I was researching how to raise chickens.
