One of the best getting started videos I ever found was on YouTube Guildbrook Farm. Such a great instructional video from day 1 to moving them into their permanent coop.

Welcome to BYC. I am in absolute agreement with other posters saying you need to figure out what killed your original flock before buying more. If it was disease, your new flock could be infected by being in the same coop unless it is thoroughly sanitized. If it was from predators, you need to make your coop and run predator proof. Sorry to be such a downer, but a little work now could save you a whole lot of heartache later. Best of luck.

Here is where to post if you believe the chickens died from disease: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures.10/
If you list any symptoms you can remember, folks in there may be able to help with a diagnosis.

Welcome to BYC
How did they all die ?
Were they taken by predators or did they all get sick ?

I have two dogs, and they broke into the chicken coop, I'm still not sure how the dogs worked the latch thing but they ate two of them and the other didn't survive the night, so I think shock got to her? or maybe heart attack?
