Starting a Homestead with a Chickens!

[goldeaglenest]

Hi all! A dream is materializing as I move this spring to an old family farm where I can have my garden and start a flock of chickens! I am on here to learn about raising chickens, and I am particularly interested in a mixed flock to produce multicolored eggs for sale. Hoping to feel comfortable enough and informed enough about this by April 1st for the chickbordering deadline at my feed store!
