  • 6 total - backyard city flock

(3) What breeds do you have?


  • 1 - White Leghorn
  • 2 - Olive Eggers
  • 1 - Bantham
  • 1 - Wyandotte
  • 1 - Easter Egger

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?

  • Eggs
  • Getting the kids to learn about homesteading

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

  • Bicycle Racing
  • Lacrosse coach
  • Beekeeper

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
