(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Total noob
(2) How many chickens do you have right now? Looking to get 6
(3) What breeds do you have? I want to get 2-3 different breeds. Deciding between Buff Orpington, Plymouth Rock, Polish, Wyandottes, Easter Egger, and/or whatever barnyard mix is available.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? Fun for the family, compost, eggs
(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Beekeeping, vermiculture, growing native plants
I've been wanting to get chickens for a while, but the idea of building my own coop/run or even deciding what I wanted in a set-up was so intimidating. After reading and watching a lot of reviews on the omlet eglu, it seemed almost perfect for the few hens I wanted to start off with. Now that I purchased the thing, I'm realizing how much I need to learn about actually raising chicks and taking care of hens. Still very intimidated by the whole thing, but now I'm excited to get going.
