Smart of you to research first, and you're right, sometimes the best way to learn is just from experience. Sounds like a pretty assortment of chickens and they'll give you a nice colorful egg basket! Good start on your coop! Here's a few articles with some considerations you may want to keep in mind as you finish your build:

Have fun and good luck with your new flock!
 
Welcome to BYC, Heather!:frow

All of us are happy to have us here, we always have enough room on the BYC roost!

Feel free to ask questions, there are so many wonderful people who will answer them with great understanding! :celebrate

I absolutely love thee breeds you picked out, all are very family friendly and hardy in winter. Hopefully, you can finish that coop quick, winter is just around the corner and those chicks grow up quick! ;)

Enjoy your time on this amazing site! :woot
