Hello all!
We just moved to Oklahoma from Florida and I am finally starting my chicken journey! My friend here in OK asked us if we wanted to purchase her coop since she is moving and of course, I agreed. I knew she had lost a bunch of her flock to predators, but I didn't realize she still had 4 chickens, that will be coming with the coop. No big deal, super excited about them! But I also ordered chicks from a hatchery, and they are being delivered next week. I am now scrambling to read all of my chicken literature on how to integrate the chicks when it's time. And surprisingly there isn't a lot of info in my books! I had originally planned on putting the chicks in the coop when it was time, but now I've got to plan something else.
A little more info...the chicks will be in a brooder inside with a Brinsea EcoGlow...don't know if that matters or not. I know it's good to have the chicks see each other but not able to interact, for a while. But we will only have the one coop. I appreciate any advise/tips!
