Jump right in and make yourself at home.
You are less likely to bring home a chicken disease if you get chicks from a major hatchery.

Coop Ideas:
Chicken Coops

BYC has an APP!
 
Welcome to Backyard Chickens! We are glad you joined the flock!:welcome BYC is a helpful site providing all of the information you need to know about poultry. There is always space for members on the BYC roost!:highfive:
I would research chicken breeds as much as possible before buying them. See which one suits you best based off of their Characteristics or purpose. The only thing I would suggest is that you purchase pullets or chicks instead of hens. If not, the new hens are most likely to severely pick on the Dominique. Based on my experience with integration, introducing 5 new pullets to one hen was very successful but if the chickens I purchased happened to be hens, blood would most likely be involved. Anyway, Good luck with your coop plans and decisions.

Hope you enjoy it here as much as we all do!
