(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
New to owning my own but I fell in love with them working at a friends barn.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
12 = 3 Roo and 9 Hens
(3) What breeds do you have?
Silkies, White Rocks, Australorps and Sex-Links (cross between RIR and WR)
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
Love to watch then interact with each other and my family. Lol... the eggs are good to have too.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Arts n Crafts, Wood Working
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
Jack of all trades. Recently retired, due to not being able to wear a mask all day.
Grandmother to 12 from 4 children and a small Chihuahua/Terrier that is stuck to my hip.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
Well... I started researching how to cure a sick chicken for the barn and found BYC and now that I have my own I do all kinds of research and find my self on BYC a lot so I figured I should join so I can learn and share my experiences better.
My current research is to learn all about hatching out my flocks eggs.
Most of them have started to lay but none of them have gone broody as of yet. So I bought an incubator to hatch out my little Lincoln Penny eggs. And added the other five that were laid that day to see what I got from the big girls.
Why you ask...
Because I bought four Silkies and only one is a hen, and all my roos are the rest of the Silkies.
Why do I call them Lincoln Penny eggs...
Lincoln is my Chocolate Roo and Penny is my Chocolate Hen thus Lincoln Penny's
