And welcome to the world of chickens!!! You will want to start with some reading in our learning center here on BYC for lots of tips and hints on all the aspects of raising poultry from building the coop, raising the babies, feeding your adult flock and keeping then healthy and safe from predators....

Get a hen house, find a hatchery, by feeders and waters, then pick out the breed and how many you want. For every 5-6 hens put a rooster. But if you have 20 hens you should at least have a rooster.
