from California! This forum will tell you everything you need to know: http://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center
Build your coop strong and secure and use hardware cloth (very strong wire with 1/4 inch holes) not chicken wire, it keeps chickens in but predators can tear through it easily. Also, make the coop and run bigger than you think you will need, you will probably end up getting more chickens than you thought. Good luck!
