So I have to go back some 45 years when I raised my first chicken. It was more like 100 meat birds trying to save a buck at the dinner table.
I turn a young 70 this week and thought I would buy myself a birthday present of dozen pullets. 6 leghorn, 3 Rhode Island reds and 3 golden star. Probably more than I need but figured on attrition.
Looking forward to raising and caring for them and of course using the eggs. I am in the planning stages of the chicken coop and have plenty of room. Also have some critters that would just love to make them a meal so can’t really let them be free without me being around.

Happy
to have you join the family. Enjoy your time here at BYC! 
We are glad you joined our flock.
I turned young 70 in July. You might also enjoy the thread "The Old Folks Home." you don't have to be old to join. Just a very nice group of thoughtful and supportive folks - like most BYC threads. Topics change by the minute, so if you just wait a bit, you can add something new.
