Congrats on finishing up your coop! Do you have chicks yet to fill it with?

I just bought 6 chicks today. They are in a large watering tub in the basement by a window with brood warmer. They seem to be eating well and after I dipped their beaks in the water they are now starting to drink.
It’s a little cooler in the basement, 65 degrees F. I think I need to keep the lamp on through the night for warmth.
Is there any article one would recommend for the beginner? I’ve done some research, but love all the information here and thirsty for more.
