(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
yes - just got them Aug 30th.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
5.
(3) What breeds do you have?
3 Black Australorps and 2 Plymouth Barred Rocks
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
I just really love the sweet little sounds they make! I love to sit out there with them in an old beach chair and feed them treats. They all have their own personalities. Annabelle is the smartest, smallest, and most agile. Carly is the last to wake up in the morning and she comes out of the coop with her feathers all disheveled, like she needs coffee.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Gardening, hiking, biking, painting, cooking. We are very interested in regenerative agriculture so I love the idea that we are growing our own vegetables and, for example, feeding the carrot tops and butternut squash seeds to the chickens, who then turn it into fertilizer/compost for the garden, as well as eggs.
