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

Yes, I am (mostly) new to chickens. My paternal grandparents had a small flock on their farm when I was a kid, and I've cared for a few friends' flocks. My partner’s parents raise chickens (and geese, ducks, and turkeys)

We got our chicks about 2 weeks ago.

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

Officially, we have 10 hens because that's the legal limit in our town.

(3) What breeds do you have?
  • Two leghorns
  • Two Buff Orpingtons
  • Two Delawares
  • Two Rhode Island Reds
  • Two Olive Eggers
  • Two Cuckoo Marans
  • One Giant Jersey
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?

Nurturing life

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

I'm a photographer, a retired licensed race car driver, a gearhead

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.

I'm a documentary artist, my partner is a banker, between us, we have four kids and a cat.

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?

Google led the way. I found the site a couple of days ago and joined to get feedback on my coop design and document my build.
