In the Brooder
Hey everyone!!
My name is Andrea!
I just moved my babies outside to their coop last weekend. I worked on that coop every spare moment since I brought them home, and I miss them! I go out And see them every morning before work, and every evening when I get home. Does it get any easier??
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? My first chickens were when I was a child, and I wasn't allowed near them, because they'd attack.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now? I have 13 chickens. 8 of them are 6 weeks old, and 5 of them are 3 weeks old..
(3) What breeds do you have? 2 Americauna's. 2 Bantams, (one of my girls has an Einstein mustache). 2 black sexlinks, but my roo looks like a barred rock, and 2 silver laced Wyandotte's. Then after those guys went outside, I still have inside, 2 Ayam Cemani's, and 3 Bantam Cochin frizzles.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? All of their personalities!! They are seriously so fun to watch and relaxing to spend time with.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Painting, puzzles, anything with music and concerts!! Right now looking forward to After shock for the third year in a row!!
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. I don't own any other pets, unless you count the mealworm farm in progress. And I'm a caregiver by nature and trade. I've been a caregiver for going on eleven years. I have five clients, and wouldn't be able to change occupations if I tried.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
Google! I kept googling all of my questions about my new fluffy babies, and kept finding the most helpful answers here. Decided that I needed to start searching here from now on, and cut out the middle man.
