Newbie to Raising Chickens

[Christina Williams]

I am so new to trying to raise chickens. I ordered and am awaiting the arrival of my coop and I will have to have a run built. I have been trying to learn pertinent information on what I need to do to have everything ready when the chick/chickens arrive. Any suggestions will surely be appreciated

welcome to chickens and BYC! We're here to help. We've all made every possible mistake when it comes to raising chickens, so feel free to ask anything. There are no dumb questions, believe me. These silly little birds will steal your heart and also break it, but it will be so worth it!

Welcome to byc, the best advice I can give you is build everything bigger than you think, chicken math is a thing and who knows if you want to add more hens than you think in your coop good luck chickens are amazing
