I'll have to check out the book and john that thread was great thank you.

Thanks john we were thinking more along the lines of 15-20 chickens. I'd like them to do more free roaming then just giving them feed but that might not work. If they are just egg laying chickens is there a difference in the egg(flavor or anything) as far as free roam or just feed?

My family and I have talked about raising chickens for eggs for a couple of years and have decided that this is the year to do it. We live on and acreage so we are planning on building a movable coop and fence so they can roam some but also keep them some what safe. Or we are going to try to have a garden/coop as shown in the picture.
I was wonder what are the best tips or information that I should know going into this and does our plan to move the coop make any sense? Please help any tips or tricks would be great.
