Hello everyone! I'm in the planning stages before getting my first small flock of chickens. I'm actually 1-2 years out from being able to bring this dream to life. Ive been researching and reading for weeks but I could use some specific advice for my situation. I was so happy to find a friendly community of bird lovers. Can someone please direct me on where to post questions regarding what breed(s) of chickens would suit my family's needs?

Hi, it's nice to have you here! It would be helpful to those trying to answer questions to have a general idea of what part of the country you are in, location affects a lot. But this article from the Learning Center is another place to get an idea of what breeds might work for you:
Pickin' the Right Frickin' Chicken: Guide to Picking Backyard Chicken Breeds

Best of luck with all your plans!
 
Yep reading what @HuffleClaw gave you is your best bet!
Welcome to BYC!

Hi and welcome to BYC

On this link you'll find lots of information on almost every aspect of keeping birds - from coop building ideas, to incubating eggs - https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/

Each week, various topics are discussed, which can be a great resource - https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/topic-of-the-week-thread-archives . Ditto the Learning Centre - https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/

This is a useful link of BYC guides to take a look at announcements-feedback-issues-guides.3 I’d suggest including your location using the guide in that link. You can use this link to contact members in your area - Find your State's thread.

Best wishes
