Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow
It's pretty common for many of us older folks to have had chickens at one point in our lives, then fast-forward a few decades, and here we are again. :)
We're glad you're here!
What have you planned for their coop for where they sleep, lay eggs, get cover when it rains, etc.? I'm guessing if this was ours, we would have looked on Marketplace for some dog houses or crates to remodel or make a few with roofs that you can raise to check for eggs.

I usually take my little ones outside for an hour, their first couple of days out, just to get them used to it. Today (80F) was perfect for them, and they were having so much fun, I just left them (four-week-old silkies). They are in a pen with a rooster and...
