Hi All,

I am a brand new chicken owner. I'm getting three Buff Orps (their photos are attached). I don't have my chicks yet because my neighbor is raising them. She said that they would be ready at around 10 weeks. They are around 2 weeks now. While I wait for them, I've got to get a coop and other accessories. I also want to read everything I can on how to take care of my girls. Any advice on where to buy supplies, what to buy, and anything else that you think I need to know would be much appreciated. My biggest fear are the red-tail fox that run through my yard around 7 every morning.

Thanks
