Welcome!
Build it bigger than you originally plan.
Walk in and open air...not all closed up like most coops appear. It's hot down here and our coops need MORE ventilation.
Starting with chicks from a major hatchery is a pretty safe was to not bring disease home. A lot of people sell diseases birds. Disease don't go away so don't rush any decisions. Research more to prevent disease.
