Adding 4 week old chicks

[BCMominMD]

I have (8) 21 week olds happily living in a converted amish shed (8x10)with kennel run attached 10x10. They free range when I am home. They are starting to lay and all is great!)
So now I have the opportunity to get (2) 4 week old welsummer pullets certified healthy- oh I want those dark brown eggs!
Temp here is 72- 88 in the coop. That seems warm enough if I set up a brooding area in there. I've read alot of the flock integration posts. I'm just thinking I'd like to grow them out in the coop rather then the house this time.
Advice would be much appreciated!

That's what I would do!

I'd make something like this:

Yup! That's the inspiration I found on here. Do you think the temperatures are OK?

Sure.

You could check on them the first night. If they seem chilly, cover part of their area with a blanket or something. I doubt they'll need anything, though, if there is no draft on them. 72 should be just right for that age.
