So glad you're enjoying having chickens again! I sort of did the same thing...had them as a kid, then as a young adult, then went a few decades I was unable to, and here we are again!
Hi! I'm 71 too! Too old for horses, not too old for chickens. I'm another who had chickens decades ago, then didn't, and got into them again about 15 years ago. So happy to have the support of BYC this time around. I've learned so much here! Welcome!
