Hello to all . I recently retired and looking for a new hobby . I have no chickens yet and if I do get some I will have to wait till spring . Hoping to get more advice between now and then . I like to go fishing but know I cannot do that all the time . I know nothing about raising chickens .

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!! You're in the right place as everything is right here at BYC about raising chickens.

I would start in the Learning Center and go from there.

Welcome to BYC. For what I spend on chickens, I'm pretty sure that I could be fishing off the coast of my own private island. Good luck with your goals!
