Greetings from 2 newbies!

Hello! We are an earlier 60’s couple looking to have some backyard chickens. We live in No Cal where the weather is amazing. We really don’t know anything about raising chickens but for many years have toyed with the idea. I found this site doing a Google search. We have a large yard we feel would be accommodating for this. Our goal is to have eggs for ourselves and for family and friends. Super excited to learn!
