Hi all - I've been lurking a while
1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
My son got them for his 5th birthday 6 years ago. He sells the eggs but we all love the hens.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
We have lost quite a few recently . Had 17 last year and now down to 4 ladies and a rooster. But are hatching as I type and so far 7 chicks with 1 pipping and 14 more eggs.
(3) What breeds do you have?
Cream legbar, maran, bluebelle.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
They are so happy in the garden its just nice to have them around.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Not much else! Gardening walking and reading
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
Its me, my husband, 11yr old son, a golden retriever, a black cat and the hens. We live on 2 acres and the hens roam free.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
Always come back to this page for help and information and with just hatching chicks now in an incubator for the first time I thought we would have questions!
