I have not purchased chickens yet because I am very confused about everything?
I live in NY & the village code is 6, NO Roosters.
I do have the perfect place for a coop, I have a detached garage with a shed that was built attached to it, Just have to make it draft proof & fix it up a bit before buying any hens.
Now, I have no experice on incubating eggs, & I would be devastated at my first try & the chickens dont hatch because I did something wrong, then I was thinking about buying chicks, its just the feed store over here says you have to buy 10, I cant do that, also there were people protesting the store the other day when I drove by, so I'm assuming its not such a great place to buy anything from, :|.
I do know I can adopt a few chickens but I do not know if they will stay or take off?
Also I read it best to get them as chicks, I am so confused

What would everyone sugest to someone like me (besides do not get chickens

I appreciate everyone taking the time to read my rambles....I just want to do it right & have happy chickens. Thank you.
