Hello, Tom, and welcome to BYC. Build your coop far larger than you think you will ever need. Good luck with your new flock.
Hello and welcome to BYC! 
Congrats on getting started on this new journey! Always give them way more space than suggested, keep things clean...(nest boxes, floors, water and feeders, ) feed them a good quality feed, keep the treats down to a dull roar however greens are wonderful for their livers and can be fed often, (chickens can be prone to fatty liver disease). Sit with them often, observe each one so you get to know their style and personality. This will help you identify if one is weak or sick. And most of all, enjoy them!
