(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?

I had chickens when I was MUUUCH younger and have started back into it, Mike and I have very different taste in birds so we have an interesting variety right now!! Lots of fun and lots of learning.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now? 34 it think.

(3) What breeds do you have?

Japanese Bantams, RIR Bantam, SL Polish, Silkies, Sumatras, Asst Bantie Chicks, Cornish Xs for easter dinner, Featherleg Barred Rock, Cinnamon Queen, Rescued Light Brahma Hen(one eye).

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

Searching for mobile coop ideas & general info - I have been lurking for about a week and you seem so friendly I decided to join!!

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

Have a bead shop, goats, rabbits, dogs, lapidary work (cutting rocks into jewelry or decor items)

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.

We are trying to start a pesticide free mini farm - it is on commercial property so we also will be inviting others with farm/garden/country crafts to join us on weekends selling goods that are wholesome and healthy!!

We first go into chickens last year, I found BYC while researching chickens before getting them.
We love to garden, do 4h with our kids, and I love baking and canning. We also have German Shepherds we plan to breed in the future.

I'm so glad you joined us!
