Hi! New in Ga

[afj6710]

My family and I just moved to an old farmhouse last summer and we are starting to get things ready to raise chickens (among other things). My hubby had chickens growing up but I am ridiculously ignorant about any and all "farm animals" so I'm trying to gather as much information as I can since I'll be the primary caretaker. We have 3 kiddos that will be helping me out as well.

So, I know that I'll ask alot of obvious, dumb questions to start, so please be patient with me.

Is there a "brand new, I don't have a clue what I'm doing" section of this board?

We were all new at one time.

Several. Start with the learning center -- link at the top of the page. The coop designs section is amazing, too, even if there is already a barn or shed or something you'll use for a coop on your new property. Then go to FAQ's and look through what topics are linked -- way too much to read all those threads at first, but it will give you an idea what's there.

Oh, and you just have to have the link to Henderson's breed chart. Lots of pics of the different breeds if you click on the links on the right of the chart.
