Hi, I'm Chan
New member of BYC. Although, I have been looking up info and pics for several months now. I look forward to learning and sharing with yall!
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Not exactly "new". My parents raised chickens, ducks and geese when I was a kid. Now that I have a homestead of my own, I had to get some Chooks of my own. The ones I have now I've raised for 4 months now.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I have 20 in total atm.
(3) What breeds do you have?
Some are sex links my cousin gave me. No idea what breeds they might be. I have Ameraucanas, Barred Plymouth Rocks, Black Stars, Buff Orpingtons, 2 Roosters I'm not at all sure(bought assort. Bantams) and 1 White Jersey Giant rooster.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? Farm fresh eggs. The therapy of watching them just peck the ground.❤ watching them grow from tiny day old chicks into magnificent, beautiful birds.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies? I love to garden, sew, paint, sculpt and cook.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I have 4 kids, married to a lovely man who spoils me with chickens , we have 1 goat named Billy and 3 dogs as well.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I first found BYC last year. I was planning on raising chickens but wasn't sure what breeds I had available in my area or which would be best to raise. Now that my chooks are getting bigger, I found myself asking even more questions than before! How do I breed my chickens? Can my Jersey Giant mate with my Buff Orpingtons & black stars? What breed of chicken are my 2 red roosters? Will my goat eat my chickens? The list goes on!
