Hello and welcome to BYC! We're very glad to have you with us on these amazing forums! If you have any questions or concerns about your chicks, feel free to ask on here and the awesome community will help you whenever we can!
Glad to meet you. Best wishes with your chickens. They grow fast, so get that coop and a run built soonest. Also they get DUSTY!!! You will want them OUT, and they will want out, too.
I love retirement. Everybody should do it at least once.
I also love shelties. I don't have one right now, but had 2 before. They are lovely dogs. Congratulations on your new home, and best wishes with your birds and all your plans!
