(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
My first flock was almost 20 years ago and was a science project for school. I was supposed to see what affected eggs from developing by changing the lighting and heat conditions, buuuut I didn't have the heart and just hatched all of our eggs. My mom let me take 4 birds home, My rooster Babe a beautiful Brown Leghorn, a white leghorn hen, a speckled sussex hen and then a heavier set rooster I can't remember the breed.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
My husband and I just bought a house with 30 acres of land and the first thing we did this spring was bring home 6 chicks and 2 ducks.
(3) What breeds do you have?
I am not 100% sure and will post a separate thread to see if I can get help, but from what I can gather I think we may have two black copper marans, maybe a blue copper maran or a cochin, a beautiful red bird, a black and white speckled one, and what may be a pair of khaki campbell ducks.
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
Before we got our birds I was researching to see if we could keep chicks and ducks together.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I enjoy hiking, camping, kayaking, and gardening.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I am married to my wonderful husband of 14 years, we have 4 dogs (2 dachshunds, a red heeler and a min pin) two cats, and a baby on the way. And I work as an administrative assistant a our local Community College.
