Hello,
My name is Crystal and me and my husband are newbies to raising chickens.

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? We are new to owning chickens and have had our beauties for about 10 wks now.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
We have 6 currently

(3) What breeds do you have?
Silkies
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
They have such personalities and each one is different. They are fun to watch on a daily and have taught us some patience.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I love to read, crochet, and watch movies, as well as garden. My husband is a tinkerer and so is always doing something in the garage or garden.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
We are 3rd year bee keepers and have had a great time with our bees, they all have their own personalities too and are so much fun to watch as they bring in pollen or just when they are sitting on flowers.

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
We found BYC by googling some questions we had. We've known about BYC for about 10 wks now. We decided to join the community because there are always so many questions and so much to learn and discover about raising chickens amongst other animals. We also wanted to find like minded people we could converse with and just see how everyone does things.
 
Welcome to BYC. Do you have any pictures of your silkies? We love pictures.
Here are some pictures. The first one is Tina and Goldie, 2nd one is Goldie, 3rd is Rooster Cogburn, 4th is Raptor, 5th is Oreo, and 6th is Perchy and Goldie. As you can tell Goldie and Raptor are little hams for the camera and like to be everywhere. Lol
