Welcome to BYC! Get ready to fall in love with chicken raising! Have the husband make a really big coop, you will need it when Chicken math sets in.
It is great your children can learn about raising animals from you. Lots to learn and lots of fun sites here! Enjoy!

Hello Candice. Welcome to BYC! There is tons of info here and very good people to help you on your journey as a new chicken owner.

If you want to get the most out of BYC, I suggest you do the following:

• For general education, spend some time browsing the Articles link above and possibly the Learning Center. You will find excellent information for both newbies and long-time chicken owners there.
  
• When you have specific questions, most of the time a quick search will come up with the answers.
• If you don't find anything useful that way, post your question in an appropriate sub-forum. People here are very helpful and will answer your question even it has been asked 100 times before.

Enjoy your time here.
