Hello! Any tips for happy healthy chickens would be great!!!

Hi! I’m brand new to having chickens, we got 8 from the hatchery, they got here on Friday morning. We got a surprise chick, 3 red stars, 2 australorps, and 2 whiting true blues. We have enjoyed watching these new additions to our family get used to their new habitat. So far we just love these little chicks. We are excited to watch them grow abs develop and eventually give us eggs!

We are a very outdoors loving family. We camp, rock climb, hike, swim, golf, and ride a motorcycle often. We homeschool our 2 boys and they love these baby chicks so much!
