I want to get as much research done before I finally commit to keeping chickens. What would you recommend?

Reading through the forum, great source of info, and any chicken book by Katie Thear. I found her book very useful when I started out but then this forum took over

Good luck

The forum is a great source of information and plenty of people to give advice.

I agree with you about Katie Thear books and the other book I found really great was the Complete Encyclopaedia of Chickens from Amazon £5.99 great value.

I bought the Katie Thear Beginners Guide to keeping chickens before getting my ladies and also registered for this site at the same time. I'd say they are equally good resources.

I browsed here for a while, then bought a book.

Found the book almost useless as I'd heard it all already hanging round here.

Book was useful eventually though, when we needed a doorstop.
