Hopefully I have done this right... but here we go :)

(1) I Would say I am on the newer side of chickens, though I have worked more so with broilers in the past, but recently have gotten into heritage breeds as well, though I am eager to learn and pick up things quickly.

(2) I currently have over 150 birds.

(3) The breeds I have are:
Meat:
Cornish X, Western Rustic's

Eggs:
Lohman Browns

Heritage/non Hybrids:
Golden Laced Wyandotte
Black Australorp
Speckled Sussex
Copper Marans
Cuckoo Marans
Ameraucanas
Buff Orpingtons
Lavender Orpingtons
Chocolate cuckoo orpingtons
Black Cuckoo Orpingtons
Silver laced English orpingtons
Chocolate Laced orpingtons
White orpingtons
Black orpingtons
Chocolate orpingtons

(4) I Would have to say my favourite aspect is knowing I'm producing my own eggs and meat, but I love the different types and colours of the chickens and their quirky behaviours.

(5) Hobbies: Gardening, home craft making, like soaps, lotions, candles, ect..., horticulture/orchardist, writing, construction, herbalism, animal husbandry, cooking, baking, along with more.

(6) I have a large family and I love them all, I own 5 dogs currently, along with cows, turkeys, pigs, goats, sheep, ducks, geese, and more. I am a farmer, a property manager and operator, a writer, a business women and entrepreneur, I enjoy a variety of different occupations

(7) I found BYC off of Google probably a couple years ago, but I am finally at a place with my chickens where I am getting into specific chicken breeding and into more of the genetics side of things and it is hard to find specific answers to my questions, so I was looking to get more involved in comments and or posts when I need question answered and can't find posts with already existing answers.
