Hi Ryan & welcome. You've come to the right place & are wise to do your research before getting the hens. Have a look on here for references to fox-proofing, so that your daughter doesn't have to experience what a fox can do to hens.

Hi Ryan and welcome to the forum. Good article in Practical Poultry this month about starting with chickens -I've copied it for someone else. Have a look at the main site as well www.poultrykeeper.com. Plenty of info in there.
