Just ordered 6 chicks and a coop and need advice on what else I need to do to keep them safe and sound.
UPDATE: Cancelled the chick order after reading through the very helpful info provided on this forum. I'll buy 6-8 week pullets and let someone with more time, equipment, and expertise get them through the precarious first few weeks.

Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow

So glad you decided to join us. Enjoy this new journey! Definitely stop by our Learning Center for all kinds of great articles on all the aspects of keeping chickens... https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/

And of course ask as many questions as needed. Welcome aboard!
 
Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies! I always check in the "What's New" section as well at the top of this page. This way I can read how I may have a similar question or help give some advice.
