In the Brooder
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I just got chickens for the first time last week.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now? We bought 7 day old chicks and have 3 hens on the way tomorrow
(3) What breeds do you have? We’ve got a mix with about 5 or 6 different breeds
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? Our “backyard” chickens are currently in our bathroom in a homemade brooder for the moment haha. I love listening to their little chirps
(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Our other hobbies are gardening, composting, seed saving, cooking, and construction
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. We’re a family of four. Myself, my husband and our two daughters. Our goal is to grow enough food for the family this year in our backyard and raise chickens for some fun, eggs and learning experience for the kiddos. Working on being self sustainable in our beach home on 3 acres we just bought!
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community? NUMEROUS (and I mean nuuuumerous) online searches about EVERYTHING to do with raising chickens, building coops and runs and everything else chickens to make sure we were prepared for our little chicks! Haha
