(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
We had chickens about 8 years ago, something got them all within 3 days. We tore down that coop and decided we would wait until we built our new house and a coop could be closer!
(2) How many chickens and do you have right now?
We now have 6 chickens we bought from TSC 5 weeks ago.
(3) What breeds do you have?
We now have 2 RIRs and 4 Amberlinks! I think we have 1 RIR roo and 3 Amberlink roos! Only 2 hens
My brother in law told me to take them back to TSC and tell them I bought the wrong ones!! LOL!! 
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
I love how fun it is to head out to see if they have an egg waiting for me!! It's like Christmas!! But I have a little while longer to wait before these start to lay!!
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I love to garden and we just put our chickens in the new coop the other night so while I was gardening yesterday they were out and checking out my garden!!
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I have 2 kids and my husband who has spent the last 5 weeks building a chicken coop (with my help of course) that he was not planning on building yet! LOL!!
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I found BYC about 10 years ago when my husband gave me (haha) 6 Black Rock hens for Mother's Day!
