thinkin' chickens

[mrsmendlebright]

I want to get some chickens...I AM going to get some chickens but am trying to find chicken coops. Any good places to get them? Also how many chickens are good to start out? It is just my husband and I right now but we always have extra guests at our table. I do not want to raise chickens to save money or make money. I want to raise chickens to be more independent. thanks for any advise
