(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I grew up with between 40 & 60 chickens, they were my 4H animal of choice.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
None, we are starting a new flock of quail and small business selling eggs.
(3) What breeds do you have?
We started with considering button quail, but the eggs aren't the size restaurants and markets will be interested in so we are going with coturnix (or Japanese) quail.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
I enjoy having the eggs when we do have chickens, but of course you end up naming them and enjoying their personalities. I hope it will be the same with quail.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I'm an activity director at a senior home and I craft drinking tumblers and HTV designs.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I'm married, my kids are grown. We have 2 dogs, a lizard, a cat, and 2 chinchillas.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I found the site while looking for other coturnix owners.
