(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am new to chickens! I have always been fascinated by them and they are my favorite animal!

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?

So I wanted to start out with about 6 but left the store with 9 LOL

(3) What breeds do you have?

I have 8 Buff Orpingtons and 1 Black Sex-Link (Barred Rock hen and a Rhode Island Red cockerel)
This came to be because I walked up to the brooder they were in and all of them were in 1 and I couldn't leave any behind!

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

Watching them grow has been really rewarding. I love and adore when they fall asleep on or near me ♡

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

I love to crochet, I am starting my first garden this year, and I love growing flowers too!

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

I suppose I would just like to share that I am super new to chicks/chickens and any advice is awesome! I researched a lot before getting them so I think I am pretty knowledgeable with the basics but feel free to throw your advice at me! LOL

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community? :D

I've known for a couple months now about BYC, I would look up a lot of questions and scenarios and read them. I have my chicks now and I had a question of my own that I haven't seen much on! (if anyone would like to check my profile and help answer that would be awesome!) But yeah I wanted to jump in more and maybe also help others someday! ♡

:frow Hi and welcome! We're so glad you joined! You've already fallen victim to the dreaded condition known as "chicken math!" You know: I wanted 4 but bought 10 and hatched a dozen and somehow ended up with 40! We're all familiar with it! So when you build your coop, build twice as big as you think you need, you'll be glad you did!
