Hi everyone im new to keeping chickens...before getting started which are best chickens to start with good laying and dont fly off...only wanted 2 hens atm

Hello & welcome. You will find many opinions on 'the best chickens' here! Try the learning center tab or read through Hendersons chicken chart - that will give you plenty of ideas to stat with...

Yes, definitely start with our Breeds section here on BYC and the Hendersons Chart is also a very good breeds directory....

Do you have to register chickens in the uk??

Hello and Welcome To BYC! You might want to ask in the UK thread about chicken laws, and what breeds are available locally https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/2199/anyone-in-england
