Kevin,
Here is a little food for thought:

http://www.poultry.msstate.edu/extension/pdf/home_floks.pdf
http://extension.umd.edu/publications/PDFs/MEP300.pdf
There should be enough information for you to get up and running. Good luck. You know my number.

Hey Kevin, does Marshallville have a leash law?
Oh, sorry, I just had to ask!I don't believe in taking the bull by the horns. I took a goat by the horns once and that was enough excitement for me.

Kevin,
We've had chickens for 9 years now.
We got this book early on and it's been a big help.
Nothing like fresh laid eggs that have been fed a decent layer pellet and allowed to roam a little.
