Hello new chick mom and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Is the coop and run all built and ready to go? You'll be surprised just how fast those tiny little fluff balls grow and you will want them in their coop/run. They will too!

Coop is just about done. From everything I’ve read they will have to be inside for at least two months. We are in Montana and haven’t seen any signs of spring yet

Wow, 8 weeks is a long time to keep them inside your house, the dust and dander becomes unbearable for me at about 4 weeks. Or are they staying a garage? It's still possible for them to go outside to a proper coop at a young age, especially if they're fully feathered. Some folks brood right in the coop even in freezing temps! As long as chicks have access to warmth if they need it, as well as cool air, they'll do just fine. Here are some other people's experiences if you're interested:
