Hello! my wife and kids have been talking about chickens for a while now and we are finally going to take the leap this weekend. We are an Indiana family and starting from scratch when it come to knowledge and supplies. If any one has major pointers you think we should know please reach out. Wish us luck !

Welcome to BYC, and good luck establishing your flock and coop. Do not buy one of the 'pre-fab' coops. Modify a garden shed, buy an Amish built coop, or construct the coop yourself.
