Hello!

[Nonna Lisa]

Recently retired from healthcare and a new nonna. Have raised chickens in the past for over 15 years. Last hen passed away after 12 years about six months ago. I live in Tucson, Arizona. We’ve had a relatively mild winter. Now that I’m retired I have the time to spend with the hens. We built a new walk-in pollaio. Adopted 10 baby chicks born on Valentine’s Day. So far so good, everyone is healthy and growing fast. Would love to collaborate with enthusiasts in the Tucson local area.

While I could guess from your use what a "pollaio" is, I had never seen the word and Googled it. Thanks for teaching me something new!

Welcome to BYC, and congrats on retiring and on adopting those sweet chicks!
