Brand new chicken mama

[Meltay]

I Just bought my first chicks from tractor supply them decided I wanted a bigger chicken family so I have more coming from cackle hatchery to make a total of 20 chicks. I'll have 1 rhode island red 2 welsummers 2 silver wyandotte 5 buff orpington and 10 easter eggers. I'm so ready to raise these adorable creatures I love them all already. It's currently me and my 2 kids who are going to be giving these babies all our love. Any advice is welcome I'm so nervous I'm going to mess up

Congratulations on your new flock & welcome to BYC!
Have you built your coop? You're going to need a large one for 20 chickens, at least 60 to 80 sq ft.
Enjoy your new flock.
