Hi I'm a working and married mother of two. We plan to move out to NE Oklahoma onto 10 acres. We have a lot of weather extremes in our area, and I joined to get help deciding what breed of chickens to get when we are established out there. Also I would like help deciding how many are needed to feed a family of 4. I grew up at my grandfather's farm, but he had one or of everything. I'm use to taking care of them, and I can build just about anything. We have a chance to make our kids lives more enriched, and show them where real food comes from. We are going to take that chance, and make them self sufficient in the process.
 
Welcome to BYC.
You should get some good advice from your state thread on all aspects of keeping chickens and the best breeds for your area.

Here’s a link to the Articles section - https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/ There you’ll find lots of information on almost every aspect of keeping chickens - from coop building ideas, to incubating eggs.

There’s a link on the page above to the Learning Centre - it’s a great resource. If you have a specific topic in mind, just type it in the search box - there's a wealth of information on past and present threads.

Each week, various topics are discussed, which can also be a great resource - https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/topic-of-the-week-thread-archive

You may wish to consider joining your state thread as it will put you in touch with other BYC members in your area - http://www.backyardchickens.com/t/270925/find-your-states-thread#post_3239224

All the best
