I jumped right into a question without introducing myself. My name is Valorie, I live in Bat Cave NC. I retired 2 years ago. At that time, my goal was to give back to my community. I trained and received certifications for my 6 year old lab as a therapy dog. We visit assisted living facilities, hospice centers and have started a Reading Buddy program at a local elementary school. It was during this time when someone told me about 4 baby chicks that were abandoned. No water no food. My husband and I caught them and brought them home. Now due to chicken math, we have 20 birds. We ordered 7 RIR and 8 Barr Rocks(which are an 8 member comedy act). Retirement has been awesome! Thank you for letting me be part of this community.

Hello, Valorie, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Ahhhhh! Therapy dogs and chickens. What could make for a better retirement?

Hello there Valorie and welcome to BYC!

So glad you decided to join us! Chicken math gets us every time, you can never have just a few birds.

Enjoy your retirement!!

Your retirement sounds eventful!
I think you need more birds. Twenty just doesn’t seem like enough for retirement. Sixty sounds better!
We would love to see photos of your birds, dog and anything else you wish to share!

Hi! Welcome to BYC! How sweet that you rescued those chicks!!! There are some enablers on here, (not mentioning names BC ), but I think 20 is a good number of chickens! I have 12 myself and have decided it's my perfect number.
