Welcome! My advice is to read up on time and expense commitments before buying birds. You'll want to know what type of coop you'll need, the feeders, waterers, nest boxes, and all the other stuff chickens need. Also, how to raise them if you get them as chicks, which requires a whole different set of equipment. And you've come to the right place to get all the information you will need. So use the search function, ask questions and join in the fun.
