Hello and welcome to BYC!

I have 3 tips I think are the most important when keeping chickens and that is to give them as much room as you possibly can, (big coop, big run, big outdoor spaces) pay close attention to their body language (learning their personalities and their physiology you will know if they are happy, stressed or sick) and keep everything clean (coop, run, food and water bowls, be careful adding new birds). Follow these rules in every aspect and you will have healthy and happy chickens.

Welcome to BYC, and good luck in establishing your flock. Make your coop far larger than you think you will ever need.
