hey there cool hand luke.Like you I'm new to this as well,been doing research for the past 6 weeks,in the mean time building my coop,and getting all my stuff together before i get my first chick.according to my local feed store next week they are getting a shippment of wyandotes,looks like I'll be starting with 5 of them.I've built my coop the cheapest way possible,using salvaged wood,it's a 4'x4'x6.5' and a run that's 4'x4'x10'.Now I'm hoping that i can train my chiuawa not to eat them.hehehehe !!!!!!!

I really like this coop. Rustic.

Hey as a newbie that has no real experience with chickens, I want to get a breed ore breeds that are docile, easy to manage and lay lots of good size eggs. I've been leaning towards Buff Orpingtons. Any other suggestions>

There is a larger hatchery right here in the town next to me, Dunlap Hatchery if anyone has heard of them. I can go right to them to pick out birds, In 2 moths they will have 6-8 month old birds that will be ready to lay. I'm thinking I will wait till then plus it will give me some time to finish up my coop.
