(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am not new to chickens - have helped raise them for about six years. We got them all as pullets and many have lived out their natural lives.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Currently own 13 but they are being rehomed as we cannot take care of them properly until August.
(3) What breeds do you have?
Currently have: 2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 Australorps, 2 Buff Orph., 2 Ameraucanas, 2 Delawares, 1 Plymouth Rock, 1 Silver-Laced Wyandotte, and 1 Red Star.
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
I found it online while looking up care for chicks! I belong to rabbit, hamster, and mouse forums as well and they've all been super helpful in my care for them.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I am currently a university student but I spend a lot of time with my friends - watching anime and other shows and movies, drawing (animals only of course!), knitting and doing embroidery and cross stitch, and caring for my pets.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
When I get my own chickens I will be living in a small town with my sister. We will both be commuting to school but will spend a lot of time at home with out pets: five rabbits, three hamsters, six mice, and a blue-tongue skink. Hopefully we'll be adding a puppy and some button quail into that mix. Maybe a cat as well, we'll see!
