Hello!
I've been lurking for a while - but decided to register to get some input on some project ideas I have!
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
New! We bought a house that has a large-ish? chicken coop and run!
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
0 - looking for advice on how many we should get with the chicken coop we have - see below!
It has 12 nesting boxes inside (6 per side)
(3) What breeds do you have?
None - but looking at some ISA Babcock from a local supplier.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
It's a pet that gives back!
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Industrial Automation! I'm going to be trying to automate and add a ton of sensors to the coop.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I work in the tech industry - so this is definitely a bit of a new path!
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
Lots of googling - and lots of informative threads on the questions I had!
