Helloand Welcome To BYC! Chickens aren't nearly as scary to keep as it might seem! You might want to check with your extension office, or 4-H type clubs, often they will have some sort of introduction to poultry program, or post in your state thread if anyone knows of anything (good way to meet chicken keeping neighbors also) https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/63745/maryland-thread
Definitely go to the Maryland thread. There are several good sized shows in Maryland, and someone there can point you to one that is readily accessible.
