I have, thank you. Unfortunately, I think my hen is dying. It's hard to see them fading like she is.
Thank you for the welcome words.

I'm so sorry

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
My great grandmother and my granny both had chickens when I was growing up. But, I got my first ones a year and a half ago. Up until now, it's been smoothing sailing.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now? 27 hens, one roo, and 2 ducks

(3) What breeds do you have?ALOT! I love all my girls, but I LOVE getting an array of colored eggs!

(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com? When I was researching having and taking care of chickens a year and a half ago before we started our flock.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?dogs, crocheting, cross-stitching, card making, scrapbooking, and soap/bathbomb making

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. I am married with 3 kids. One boy and 2 girls. The oldest just started driving! Yikes! I am a stay at home mom and I homeschool all three. We live in the Pacific Northwest and love the weather here. Except for a bit of the three months of summer, 80 degrees is way too hot! LOL And I say that as a former California girls of nearly 20 years! HAHA

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community? Found it while looking for information about building a coop and taking care of chickens about a year and a half ago. I finally joined because I have a sick hen I'm really worried about and several hens with injuries from predator attacks, we think all from a bobcat that we got on our game cam. :-(
