(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am VERY new to chicks. I just got my first chicks after researching for over a year on everything I could get my hands on.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
7 day old chicks
(3) What breeds do you have?
Easter eggers, barred rock, white rock, wyandotte, and bielefelder
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
The learning experience
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Gardening and working out
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I have a husband and two middle aged cats. My occupation is a government contractor
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I found it while trying to find an answer to a behavior one of my chicks is showing. I was concerned and wasn't sure what to do about it. One chick is began scratching it's head like crazy and started aggressively pecking at just the eyes of the other chicks. None of the others are doing this. My topic for the question is within the injuries and cures section if you want to see the thread.
