Hello and Welcome

I am sure that scolling back through here will help but there are often articles in GYO mag for beginners, In fact I think Oct issue has one

If not a good simple book might help..Perhaps 'Keeping pet chickens' by Johannes Paul. Published by Interpet ISBN 1-84286-103-4

Go for it.
