Hello Guys,
I recently purchased a home in NJ with a good size backyard; I was always interested in having my own coop with a few chickens. I have done some research in the learning center of this website but I still consider myself a complete beginner and will need lots of help and have lots of questions.
How do I begin?
Should I buy a Coop or build one?
Should I 1st start with learning how to hatch eggs and raise chicks?
Should I buy a coop and purchase full grown chickens?
What kind of chickens do you recommend for the state of NJ? I did find RIR’s pretty interesting along with a few others that may do well in cold weathers?
I am sorry for all these questions, I just would like to educate myself as much as possible before beginning. If there is anyone in the state of NJ that is willing to help me that would be amazing.
Thank you,
Johnny
