Oh, you're going to have so much fun! ...and eggs too.
As someone above said #1 priority is a thoroughly predator proof coop and run. And remember, those predators come from above, as in raptor birds, as well as through and under your fencing. A huge raccoon can get through a ridiculously small hole.
Use 1/2" hardware cloth and dig it in 18" for good protection. Place a heavy barrier like 12" concrete pavers or large rock around the perimeter for extra insurance. And provide overhead cover like a roof. If you haven't built a coop yet, pick a nice shady place with lots of branches for cover from those predator birds.
One smart thing to do is to collect all your First Aid supplies now so they're onhand when you need them.
Anything else that comes up -- and everything will over time -- come here and someone will help.
Mostly, though, and this is the important part, it's going to be fun and easy. They don't need that much in the way of equipment, staples or expertise. A check once a day to ensure that their feed and water is available and the eggs get collected will do most o the time. That said, though, take a little stool into the run and spend some time with them. Offer them some mealworms from your hand. You'll get to see their personalities and their routines and how they are when they're healthy and happy so you know when it's time to post a pic and an alert here for more help.
Glad you joined.
