broody hen and a rooster!

or you could get a hova bator, fertile eggs, and maybe set up a brooder for them so you're ready for them when they hatch.

hope this helps!

I am a newbie too, just hatched twice so far (third and fourth are on the way).
You need these :
incubator
thermometor (2-3)
hygrometor
eggs

I would not buy expensive eggs for the first time hatching. You can test cheap eggs and get used to your bator first.
If you have good hatch rate, you can start to spend more money for eggs

Good luck!

Do the chicken breed search tool on here to determine what kind of chickens you should get, based on what you are looking for. Also, for an incubator, I highly recommend the hovabator genesis model #1588. Search this section (incubating & hatching eggs) for info to get started. Good luck!
