Hello my name is Ron. I’ve restarted my chicken raising hobby in anticipation of meat shortages in the future. I want to get ahead of it. Im retired from the Federal govt and have moved home to the family farm with my wife.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am not new to chickens but I’ve never raised more than a few until now.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I have about fifty at the moment.
(3) What breeds do you have?
Black Austalorps (the wife’s choice) and RIR/Delaware Whites (hoping to raise golden comets for eggs)
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
It keeps my mind occupied and I find it peaceful.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Of course, woodworking and beekeeping. And gardening
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
Nothing special, couple dogs, coupla cats
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I was a member maybe 6-7 years ago but my user id didn’t work. Oh well.

Glad you joined.
it is for sure more peaceful than the govt! Sounds like you're enjoying the freedom and tranquility that farm life brings. There's lots of chicken wisdom here to learn from. WELCOME
