"An egg today is better than a hen tomorrow" Part VI - The Rest

aka, I've been fairly comprehensive up to this point, and now I'm starting to get busy with other life things...too busy to focus so heavily on a project that I myself won't be able to do for at least several years.  So I'm doing a cop-out:  here's a fantastic link, from backyardchickens.com about everything else you will need to know about raising chickens.  This includes diseases, if you get them from egg vs. chick, suppliers, all that fun stuff.

So I hope you enjoyed my random six-part informational section about the backyard hen house!  I know I did, and I will definitely be using all this research sometime in the near(ish) future.
