(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I got into chickens May of 2024 when the law was passed for single family homes to be able to have chickens in AZ, prior to that I had a hutch of 7 Coturnix Quail for about a year and now I have 21 quail!
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
We have four hens but we're hoping to get a few more that lay fun colored eggs after we upgrade our coop.
(3) What breeds do you have?
ISA Browns
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
Having fresh eggs, watching the chickens run around in our backyard, and sharing eggs with our community.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I'm an artist, I do a little bit of everything but my favorite is watercolor pet portraits.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
It's just me, my wife, and our daughter. We have two, soon to be three, cats, also have four snakes (two cornsnakes, a ball python, and a red tail boa), a Sulcata Tortoise, a betta and three snails.
