Good evening. I have just joined BackYardChickens and look forward to lots of input and advice from all of you veterans. My wife and I have been tossing around the idea of having some chickens for about a year and she was at a location where she fell in love with some Silkies this weekend. Needless to say the three kids are also excited about the idea. In Portland we are allowed three hens. We (meaning I) am planning on doing some thorough research before we get too far down this road and I am looking for advice on breeds, coop construction, and anything else that I don't even know I don't know yet.
Please ask all the question you may have so I can provide details to do the best job I can of building a coop and selecting the best breed for our area, climate and needs.
Cheers,
Eric
