We're getting our first three pullets this afternoon: an Ameraucana, a Wyandotte, and an Australorp. They've been raised together so far, so should get along (fingers crossed!). We built our own coop and run in our open backyard. Pics to come, I hope. Any burning tips for a couple of Midwestern newbies?
 
Welcome to BYC! (It's eggcellent you made a coop first!)

Do you know the heat the heat lamp should be on the first week? You probably do but just keep on the first week-the brooder at 95-90 degrees F under the heatlamp, then go down 5 degrees F each week until you reach 65 degrees F.
