(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I started with my chickens last year in April. My first set of Hens grew up and with my Rooster I hatched out some babies. I have a "teenage" group of chicks from march and a baby group born on June 1st.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Too many. I love them all but with the hatchlings plus adding a few new breeds to the group and adopting a friends in order to breed them I ended up with 20.
(3) What breeds do you have?
I have a varied group. About 10 unique and several cross breeds.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
I love how the Mama hens have been raising their babies and how my Rooster plays the gentleman and watches out for his hens and chicks.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I've actually been a gamer for many years but now that I'm a home owner I've been trying to pick up some new hobbies. Some minor carpentry.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
My parents had chickens once upon a time but I was already an adult when they started. So raising them on my own with my wife and kids has been a mostly new experience. I have a couple dogs and a couple cats.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I have been reading posts here and there for about a year now since I started my flock but I didnt join until recently. When i started breeding my chickens i had questions about the breeds of my hens as they didnt quite look like their breed is supposed to.
