My husband and I would love to raise chickens and have fresh eggs every week. While we didn't have the time to do it this year, we hope to do it in the future. We will first need to build a chicken coop, and start the chicks indoors until they get big enough to stay outside. Also, because we live in a cold climate, we will have to figure out how to keep our chickens warm during our bitter cold winters. There's lots of research for us to do still.
Here are some tips I found from someone who has been raising chickens for several years. If you have other advice for raising chickens, please let us know!

Thanks for the websites- I looked at them and they have some great pointers and ideas. I'll have to come back to these when we're ready to make one!
