I want to raise chickens for eggs.  How do I get started?

Raising chickens for eggs requires planning and preparation. Before beginning, you will need to decide where you will house your chickens, if they will be allowed to roam freely or if they will be kept inside a coop. You will also need to purchase baby chicks or get hatching eggs from a reliable supplier, construct a coop that meets the needs of your chickens, provide them with feed and bedding, and keep an eye on their health. Once your chickens are settled, they will require regular checking and maintenance for the best results. 
If you have decided to have your chickens live outside, you will need to consider predator protection as well as providing them with fresh water, food, and shelter. Depending on your local zoning rules, you may also need to apply for a permit to keep them.  Finally, you will need to consider the local ordinances for slaughter and processing in case you want to raise them for eggs and meat.
