New member and new to chickens

[ali d 1985]

Hi everyone, my names Alison and I live in England.
My son has just adopted his class chicks that they watched hatch just three weeks ago and we have decided to keep them as pets.
I am new to keeping chicks/chickens so any advice would be great. Im loving them all already.

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

My suggestion would be to get going on coop and plans for when they are grown - in just 6 weeks they will be fully feathered, half their adult size, and pooping up a storm.
