Hello and Good Evening!
My name is Sherry & I live in Seattle, WA

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am new to chickens, and I got my first flock on 2/27/2020!

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I got 6 chicks @ 2 days old. They are now a little over 4 weeks!

(3) What breeds do you have?
2 Buff Orph's
2 Easter Eggers
1 Rhode Island Red
1 Barred Plymouth Rock

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
I use to dislike anything with feathers, but I have grown to love these chickens! I enjoy feeding and giving them water, and watching their reactions with every action that I do. It's adorable.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I like anything outdoorsy, traveling, and eating! I also like to work on DIY projects and arts and crafts. I learned to crochet watching Youtube, along with lots of other projects. I also love dancing, music & movies.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I am the middle child with 2 brothers. I have a 17 year old cat, raised from a kitten, and 2 dogs. A shiba Inu (12y/o) & a Lab (6y/o). I was born & raised in NYC - city girl by birth, farm girl at heart. Moved to Seattle due to work & have been with the company for over 5 years.

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I found BYC from googling "what to do with bullying chicks", LOL. I just posted a thread! Hopefully some of you can help me Looking forward to being part of this community. Cheers and thank you!

Hey Sherry
What is the breed of that white chick with the black stripes down their back? They look awesome! Maybe one of the Easter eggers? They are all adorable : )

Thank you for joining us at Backyard Chickens. Hope you are doing well and sheltering in place. My son also lives in that area.

Yes! I am doing well. I have been working from home since 3/5. So I've got lots of time to spend with my chicks! Hope your son stays safe, and you as well!
