It all depends on what network you are on, on average you first have to register your nickname, then you can register your #channel. If you told me what network you were going to use I could help yea.
In Virginia, chickens cannot lay eggs before 8:00 a.m., and must be done before 4:00 p.m.
best thing to do is go to the website of the network you go to. you can look in the MOTD (all the stuff that scrolls by when you first connect) for website and help channel info. Every network has different policies and commands.
