Welcome aboard! Definitely follow the link to our Articles section that @Pork Pie has left for you. Lots of great reads there on all the aspects of keeping chickens. And if you still have questions, feel free to ask.
Do it! You won't regret it! I mean, there is the poopy brooders and coops, loud peeps and squacks, sick chicken problems, and hard losses, but it's well worth it! Chickens are awesome little creatures, and each has a fun and unique personality! You can even train them tricks! They can be trained, don't eat too much, and lay your breakfast! That's as good as a dog (though you can't stop me from wishing for a dog anyway)!
Welcome to BYC! Ask all the questions you want, even the ones that seem foolish. We all make mistakes and are constantly learning!
Welcome to BYC! How exciting to start a new flock. Since there’s no chicke pictures to be had yet, show us your coop! Reading thru the forums here will help you be well prepared when the chicks arrive.
