(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?

- I've had my flock for 5 years now, but I would consider myself new to chickens.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?

- 4 hens, 1 roo

(3) What breeds do you have?

Columbian Rock
Americana
Golden Laced Wyandotte
OrpingtonxBrahama cross
Orpington (rooster)

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
Thankfully I've had a pretty calm experience. I lost one hen to a dog when we first got them years ago - I love our hens and even our Rooster, let's just say - he's really good at his job!

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

We live on a farm and have 3 horses - so showing them is fun. Just hanging out and fixing/cleaning things :)

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
just myself and my partner, we live on 20 acres in Middle GA - we have 6 cats (we started with one, but after moving here ended up with 5 more - they're the mice control team), 5 dogs (same as above, started with 2 - ended up with 3 more) and 3 horses.

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community? :D
I've been a lurker of this community for years! I finally joined and am excited to contribute and be apart of the community.
