Welcome here to Backyard Chickens! Oh, let me tell you from experience that you are going to love retirement and caring for your chickens! They will become some of the best friends you have. They listen much more than they talk, they never judge you, and they love you all the more with each treat! Any questions you have can be answered here by super deluxe experienced chicken people! Enjoy! By the way, you may want to add your location!
Hi! Im relatively new here too. Forced to stop working years ago due to health issues also. I've been living a great life but my chicks have brought me great joy! Luckily my hubby loves them too and helps me when i need it. This forum is terrific.
