(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? We are planning on getting some chicks this Spring.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?0 now, but looking to have maybe 8.

(3) What breeds do you have? We would like to get a couple Australorps, Americaunas and maybe some Barred Rocks.

(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com? The Google!

(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Beekeeping, Gardening, Hunting, RVing.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. We are a family of 4 who moved from the suburbs to 10 acres in the country a little over a year ago. We are planning and slowly growing our property in to a hobby farm. Our current plan is to try to add a new line of animal(s) each year. This year we are wanting to add chickens. After that, we are looking at sheep and then eventually miniature cattle. We have a Springer Spaniel and 2 barn cats that are part of our family.
