Hello Edan Acres. 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.

Good luck and enjoy your time here.
