I am so excited start raising chickens. I am in central texas and have quite the sticky situation. My landlord does not allow pets of any kind at all. However there is a nice abandoned house with a lot of land not in use. I have permission by the land owner to use it. The people there left a rather nice chicken setup I plan on tweaking to suit me better. However being a newbie I dont want to lose chickens with trial and error. So i have some questions to entertain my restless and excited brain.nhowdo I keep these guys cool durring summer? Im not worried about winter so much.
What do they eat/what should I feed them?
What do I put in boxes for laying?
Anything else should know? Thanks in advance

I think the best start is to check out the "learning center tabs" on here - its just packed full of information. Everyone has a different opinion on the best feed, nesting material etc. Do what works best for you & your upcoming flock. Make sure they have shade, food & fresh water - they should be fine. They do worse in drafty wet environments. Make sure you predator proof your coop/run.
Best of luck

to keep them cool, give them some wooden shade and regular supply of fresh water. its recommended to give at least twice a day and the chicks must have access to water all the time.
