Welcome to Backyard Chickens - over 300,000 members globally can't be wrong. BYC puts out very good information. If your brother doesn't want to follow along that is his perogative.
If you do you can show him how well YOUR birds turn out.

Thank You
I want to raise my chicks and ducklings the correct way so they can live long and be productive egg layers.
I don't want any meat birds but I do want to get a few males but mostly females

Hi Charles, welcome to BYC.
If you are planning to start with 100 birds, one may perhaps assume you live a rural or country lifestyle rather than an urban one. Will you have other livestock or farm animals as well, or just chickens?

I live in SE MO with my DH, 2 grandchildren, a Sheltie and (at the moment) 29 feathered friends. Any questions you may have as you embark on this journey of voluntary hensanity, just ask - there are many experienced and knowledgeable people here very willing to help and guide you, and others, such as myself, who are only too happy to whistle them up for you when need be!
