New to Chickens

[MinnieRose]

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I got my chickens in the spring of 2019.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now? I have four girls

(3) What breeds do you have? Three RI Reds and 1 Australorp

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? Their silly antics and of course the eggs !

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. My husband & I are semi-retired. We have a cat and some fish.

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community? I've seen BYC since I started with my chickens. I thought this would be a good way to get answers to all my questions !

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
How much space do they have in the coop and run? Are there places to get out of the line of sight of the others?
How old are they? Have they started to lay?
Is the Australorp the one getting picked on?

Welcome to the BYC forums

Hope to hear more from you in the coming months. This is my first year with laying hens and every season I have new questions. It's a learning process and what works for you may or may not work for someone else. That's what I find so interesting with this BYC community. So ask your questions and be prepared for a variety of answers.
