I started with chickens then moved on to 2 breeds of quail and ducks. It’s kinda addicting honestly. Helen was my first chicken. What a hoot she was. Make your coop as large as you can. It never seems to be big enough and make it so you can walk around comfortably as you’re going to be cleaning it and I like comfortable when doing chores. Don’t waste money on all those fancy feeders. I usually make my own. Self watered are nice but don’t rely on them exclusively if they clog and you don’t know, the birds can die. Get an auto coop door.
