Is there anything I should do with the yard before we put our coop up? We're new to this and our chicks are just a few days old. Our lawn isn't treated or anything but I just want to see if there's any preventative measures I need to take for pests.

We've had 6 tetra tints for 2 days and just got a few rhode island reds and a plymouth rock today. Some of the tetras seem to be unhappy with their new brood mates. Is there something I can do to make it easier on my little ones? The newbies are only 24 hours old and the others are 5 days. They...
