I'm retiring next summer, my husband & I considering having chickens. Never done it before. Any suggestions on coop size, flock size etc.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
You'll have to determine how many chickens you want and for what purpose before the rest can be determined.

Welcome Nice to have you here! This is a great place to find information on chicken keeping (and much more ) Check out the learning center, ask questions. How much room do you have? Do you want just a few or a few dozen? Look at some coop ideas - something in every size, shape, color, free to expensive, various climate issues and everything else you can think of
