. What is your setup. Do you have a brooder or a place for one if it's chicks or a coop for older ones?

Here is a great reference book, Gail Damerow's 'Storey's Guide to Chickens' is an excellent guide, as well as this web site.
Also here are some other good sites.

Thanks for the links!

I'm pretty sure I'll be getting chicks, so I'm working on finishing up my brooder. I've been browsing around the brooder thread for some ideas

Whatever you are planning for housing, double it.............

If you start with baby chicks you won't be sorry. You will know what I am talking about after you have watched them grow up. You will be tuned into them so to speak. You are in for some fun. Good luck, franko

That first link has some VERY nice pictures of BOs. I am planning on adding a few of them to my flock in January. Thanks Chicken Lady.
