Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow

Congratulations on your hatch! Here is a good article on raising the chicks the first 6 weeks of life ... https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/brooding-chicks-the-first-6-weeks.74640/

You might brood them outside in a draftless, steady temp building so they can adjust to winter, in home brooding might be tougher for them to adapt as easy when you take them outside. Just watch them carefully, if they pile on top of each other and peeping loudly, they are cold. If they lay flat out along the edges of the brooder, they are over heated. If they are evenly spread out, light peeping, they are comfortable.

Feel free to ask as many questions as needed!
