We have decided to get three chicks, and I was wondering if anybody had any advice that would not be found in any informational books or websites.

My answers:
1- Here. There are so many helpful, experienced folks on BYC and you have come to the right place.
2-If you haven't already done so, visit the Learning Center - there are so many great articles to help you get started.
3- Consider 4 or 5 - they are happier in flocks and a couple of extras will buffer any early losses.
4- Build your coop/run larger than the minimum if you want happy, healthy hens.
5- With a small flock, get your chicks from a source that sexes them to improve the chances of drawing gals and avoiding an unwanted roo.
