Almost probably gonna help raise some chickens

[chickentender1]

Good afternoon . I am new here. I have a sister-in-law who with my brother are moving back to Indiana soon and will live in the country. She really wants to get established in raising chickens,some layers and some fryers. I live about 23 miles from there intended place. I am retired and garden, but am excited to learn about how to to help them take care of their chickens. Right now they are hoping to close on a 6 acre place very soon.I have been letting her dream of raising chickens slowly become my own. Just the idea of seeing a dedicated effort to do all this and have our own eggs, fryers, and experience the wonder of it all intrigues me. Of course I have no idea how it may actually pan out. But I hope it will be and i want to be a part of it.
Any wisdom on how to avoid start up problems would be helpful.

Tom
