Hey guys, long time lurker who’s decided to join the community. Hoping to expand my knowledge and help others along the way.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I started raising chickens about two years ago. I thought that they would be pretty utilitarian to me (I.e food) but have grown to be a very important/ favorite part of my day.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
4 Roosters
12 Hens
7 Baby chicks
(3) What breeds do you have?
5- Rhode Island Red
3- Barred Rock
4- Buff Orpington
7- Mix between that I hatched out
4- lavender Orpington
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
I originally started raising them for meat and eggs, but it’s turned into sort of a hobby. I’ve played veterinarian so many times and I’ve grown pretty attached to them. They all have individual personality’s and I can just stand there and watch them for hours lol
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I enjoy a lot of outdoor activity’s. Hunting, fishing, gardening, working, the occasional video game.
(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 through google. Anytime I have an issue the answer has usually been found on this community. I credit the information from this site for saving my one roosters eye. I decided to join cause I had an issue that I could use help with and I think I have enough knowledge that I may be able to help other people.
