Hello Rachel

That's a very wise decision waiting until you know more. In saying this I'm still learning after a few years of owning chickens and this place is very helpful.

Hi Rachel, here's a link to the Learning Center that has good info in it for getting started: learning-center.11. This article in particular has a lot of links in it for getting into details: how-to-raise-chickens.47660. If you have specific questions, find the appropriate forum and ask.

Best wishes!
