chicks and EGGs

Hi this is my first time in this section of boards and I was looking to see has this thread being doing before and cant see it. Sorry if it has.

I have being thinking about getting 2 or 3 hens and having them in my garden and getting the eggs off them and selling them to small shops or whoever wants them, but i don't know where to start.

Is it worth while, what sort of chicken coops, food, etc... would i need I don't know where to even look on the internet. I have always wanted to do sumthing like this but never knew where to start.

Any help info at all ill be very greatful.

Thanks very much Shane

I would think most young lads that grow up on a farm think about this at some stage.
Get yourself a couple of hens. Let us know how it goes for you.
Come to think of it there may be some useful advice over in the smallholding forum, if I remember correctly.
