(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
My family always had chickens growing up, but this is my first flock that I am fully responsible for!
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
9 - 2 three/four year old roosters, 7 four month old hens
(3) What breeds do you have?
1 rhode island red rooster, 1 big white rooster (i think he’s a broiler), 2 buff orpington hens, 1 lavender orpington hens, 4 little bantam hens
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
their personalities, mine haven’t started laying yet but i just really enjoy spending time with them and watching them forage and interact. my red rooster, wilbur, is like a dog. he is so sweet and i believe he genuinely enjoys me being out there. when i go inside, he waits by the back door.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
i love to read, bird watch, play sims, listen to podcasts (anything true crime or paranormal/spooky), hang out with my family and our pets and enjoy nature.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
i live with my partner and my daughter. i have 2 dogs(miniature dachshund & a lab/aussie shepherd mix), a cat & a snake.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
thankfully, i found this page through googling symptoms of my sick bird. but, i’m glad i found it because it seems like
