(1) Are you new to chickens / When did you first get chickens?
No, and in early childhood.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Depends how you count? (100ish show bantams)
(3) What breeds do you have?
Old English Game Bantams
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
Their personalities.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Editing, reading, volunteering, working with animals.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I train Non Canine Assistance Animals in Australia. Seizure Alert parrots, Medical BioMonitor Assistance Animals providing preemptive warning of medical conditions, and Psycosocial Support Assistance Animals, (including chickens) for things like Autism, Depression, Agoraphobia, Anxiety etc, and while Australia has no legal ESA category, that is the closest category. These animals all work under the Disability Discrimination Act Section 9.2.c and are protected by Federal law, chickens included!
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I have known about this site for many years, first heard about it in the days of Live Journal pre Facebook, and have been in and out, but felt the need to post a response recently when no one else did/could, hence getting an account.
