Maybe chickens?

[WhiteCloverFarm]

We own a small farm in CT. But we don't live there. Too many predators, so I cannot see having birds if we are not close by. However our town has permitted fowl in town. Will check the regulations today. I have build a coop or two for a friend in Texas. Attended a fowl auction while there a saw the most beautiful Coronation Sussex hens and one rooster. I wasn't prepared to bring them home at the time. And I know raising chickens isn't as simple as providing feed and water. So I am starting from the ground up. Question: Is there an all encompassing manual for raising chickens? Coop size for chickens by breed, number of birds? Where to buy King George Coronation Sussex Chickens? And whatever happened to the American Sussex Association?
