We are hoping to get a few goats and chickens in the next couple of years. I want to start researching them now. I have a little experience with chickens, but none with goats. I was hoping someone here could recommend some good books to me.

I have no idea which breed of chickens I want. Maybe Araucanas, that's what a friend of mine has. I want to research them and other breeds before I decide though.

I don't really know what kind of goats I want either, probably Nubian Goats. I'd like research them and others before deciding.

It will be at least a year before we get any chickens and probably two years before we get any goats. The pasture needs work, as does the stable and chicken coop. The chicken coop is in pretty good shape, it just needs to be expanded as it's a bit small. The stables are in pretty good shape too, but I want them to be a bit larger and have some benches and nice cozy places for the goats.

Any suggestions and/or advise is greatly appreciated.
