Totally new to chicken - unless you count the egg incubated for school when I was 5 (a long while back)
I don't have any chickens yet, doing the research first and have to have a license where I am.
My friend has easter eggers and has offered me chicks in the spring - so that's the plan. I do also like the Barred Rock.
Intention for raising is eggs and meat.

Other stuff I do besides work - I have my dogs, cross stitch, knit, crochet, spin, and my orchid collection. I try to garden, I do way better with the flowers than the veggies. Came to BYC at the suggestion of my city planning board. They require membership in an exhibition organization like 4-H, etc. I guess I exhibit my chickens thru pictures so it counts?? government - ya just don't ask and roll with it so here I am.

I hope to learn lots especially how to get started without spending a bundle. Starting anything is always expensive.
