New to poultry and online communities!

I have no idea what I am doing and could really use some help. I live in the Crowley, LA area and don’t currently have any chickens I am in the initial planning phases quickly realizing I am in over my head. I have been with the same woman for 14 years and married 8 with 3 children with her and really want to be successful with this endeavor but cannot do it in our current ingnorant state. I have a space picked out with plenty of headroom about 8 to 9 ft that measures approximately 3’6” by 12’. Any advice planning and whatnot would be very much appreciated.

Hi, you've come to the right place to get help, and remember, everyone was new at some point so questions are fine. For some general info on raising a flock, check out the Learning Center (under the Articles tab)...lots of good info there: learning-center.11

Best wishes!
