The learning center is definitely the place to go. But I can tell you to have lots of newspaper, shavings, paper towels, and mild cleaning supplies. You will be cleaning their cage out twice a day (at least, I have to). Plenty of clean, fresh water in a chick safe waterer,put up on a brick or something to keep them from bathing in it, and chick starter. Heat lamp, brooder, and you should be set to go. They grow FAST, so even if you think your brooder is large enough, you may be surprised (unless you are far more prepared than I was). Just some little tidibits, hope they help! But DO visit the learning center.
