Hello!

[Jwguy]

In the process of getting my coop finished and I have a few questions. Any takers on advice?

Hey welcome to Backyard Chickens only ask about ventilation in the coop itself and how many birds you putting in there verses it's dimensions

6x6 and 6 for now. I am going to put windows in it.

I'm putting them in there tomorrow and didn't know if I should lock them inside the coop itself for several days or turn them loose in the pen are and let them go in the coop on there own

18x6 is the run and 6x6 is the coop was thinking I could comfortable fit 10

okay rule of thumb they say 4 square feet per bird you just make it chicken math there your 6 is your max but keep an eye out for one getting pecked yours is 36 square feet
