I have 6 young chickens, 4 buff orpingtons and 2 barred rocks. They are about 10 weeks old.
We're raising them for eggs and enjoyment. I know very little and have been learning day by day.
We're ready to move them into their coop but I think I have to sanitize it first. I'm a little nervous
about moving them out. I look forward to all the great tips I can get from this site. Thank you.

Welcome.
Move them out. They need space and fresh air.
I don't know where you are but make sure they have excellent ventilation regardless of the weather.
A coops primary purpose is protection from predators, not warmth.
If chickens were in there before, disinfect it. If not, don't worry about it.

Thank you. They're out now! They seem pretty happy. Predators are always on my mind.
