I am new to raising chickens. I havent actually started yet because i wanted to be prepared for it before i start. I need to know a few things before i start:
1. How big and what type of coop do i need? I planned on getting about 5 laying age chickens from a local farm supply store.
2. What type of chicken should i get for laying and general info on that?
3. I live in WV and winters are cold. How would i prepare for that?
Those are my major questions, but i would accept any free advice. I would like to know a little more about the coop and raising them. Id like to know about feeding and how much they eat. I am kinda just looking through the forums and catching on as i go. Thanks everyone!
