Hello

[Hunnieto3]

I am getting 2 chickens for eggs somewhere near fall. I am trying to learn all I can before I pick them up. My daughter recommended this page.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Can I recommend that you plan on 3? If something happens to one of them, the other will be alone if you only get two.

Welcome to BYC. I, too, would recommend a minimum of 3 for the reason indicated by @DobieLover .

That is a good idea. My daughter is helping me get started and she has many. I bet she would give me one if that were to happen.
