New chicken mom

[Carynwhite]

i am so excited. I am very new to chickens. I just purchased 8 chicks. 2 Rhode Island reds, 2 buff Orpingtons, 2 silver laced Wyandotte and 2 Golden Wyandotte. They are only a couple days old and I have already learned so much from this site. Thank you. My boyfriend built me an awesome coop. Still in construction. Any advice would be appreciated.
