Just ordered my first chicks

Can you put them in their coop. I do with their brooder and just leave it closed for 2/3 weeks. You coop looks like it has good ventilation.

I guess I could..............though I hadn't thought of that. I could run electricity out there for a heat lamp for the nights. I can also drop that front flap to cover the wire covered opening. (Our nights have been in the low 70's) Our daytime temps have been high 90's and today was 100. Tomorrow will be 102 and Saturday 104. (with heat index around 107!) I've already purchased a nice 110 gallon container to start them out in, though. No sense in wasting it. I think I'm on the right track now. I can easily keep the container at 95 degrees where I have it now. So I'll just keep reading the Learning Center info and raise some chicks!

Thanks for the suggestion, though.
