(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I've had chickens for a couple of years now. I am new to my incubator, having allowed broody hens to do all my hatching in the past. I've got a group in the hatching incubator getting ready to go soon and I'm getting very excited. (The last hatch failed on me, so corrected some things and I'm hoping this goes well.)
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Lots? I believe the current number is around 50, including chicks.
(3) What breeds do you have?
Mixed bantams, Rhode Island Reds, Buff Orpington, Black Astralorp.
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
Google, while looking up questions regarding my hatching.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
goat rearing, gardening, historical and fantasy costume, clothing design, 3D Artwork, jewelry making, and writing.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I live in the mountains with my gentleman. We have three dogs, one and a half cats (one is only part time), 7 dwarf goats, chickens, ornamental pheasants and one betta fish.
