Glad to have you here!
Wow, you've got some fancy chicken breeds! It's always very fun to keep adding to your flock, but be prepared as they get older the pecking order becomes real, and you need to make sure they all have plenty of space.

Here's some articles with very helpful information to keep in mind:
How Much Room Do Chickens Need
Chicken Coop Ventilation - Go Out There And Cut More Holes In Your Coop!
Predator Proofing
See But Don’t Touch

Thank you for the links! Space is definitely one of my top things I’m working on right now. They have a 15x16’ run at the moment and two coops and a “duck”house but my plan is to build a larger connected run with an 8x14’ shed converted into a coop. It’s going to take a few months to get it all built but it’ll be a bonafide palace when I’m all finished!

That all sounds like a great plan!
