Here are many links about keeping chickens from this amazing woman I know in Madison, who is a gardener/landscape architect, beekeeper, and she has a chicken coop.  Much of this is Madison-centric, but there is some general information about starting and keeping chicken coops-- should be informative or at least amusing.
