New here!

Hello, I'm happy to be here and can't wait to learn! Hubby and I bought a 20 acre farm in KY so we can retire. Me last fall, him, coming up in June. Yeah, a busy, working retirement. Anyway, we are researching and over-analyzing everything to know about chickens, coops, raising them - what to do and what not to do. We are starting from "scratch" - yes a poor chicken joke - have no coop or no chickens yet. But we will soon, can't wait! Just wanted to say hello and I'll be lurking, reading, asking, and learning everything I can. When we are set up with our coop of about 8 chickens (yes, I've read about chicken math ) I will post pictures and continue to ask questions. So glad this resource is here -- amazing!

Congratulations on your new farm and your soon-to-be chickens. You have room for a lot more than 8 on twenty acres! Just kidding! Be sure to keep us updated on your chicken journey. This is a great place to learn, lots of knowledgeable people. I've had my little flock for a year now, and I know BYC has kept me from making some rookie mistakes. Are you planning to get any other kinds of livestock or animals on your farm?

I would need a new chicken math calculator if I had 20 acres at my disposal. Welcome to BYC and good luck with your adventure.
