Scared to start chickens!

[Percheron chick]

20-30 chicks is a lot to start with. Your coop needs to be no smaller than 10x10. You will also want at least 20 sq ft of brooder space. I would do no more than 10 in the first batch. Work out the details than raise a second batch if you need more.

Hi, Beth, Be warned! Once you get some, you'll want to get a lot! Chickens are addictive after all.
