We bought a Coop!

That'll work great....better if you do these mods for ventilation:

Hello and welcome to BYC!

Nice coop, I think your birds will love it!

Make yourself at home here and if you have any questions about anything along the way, be sure to ask.

Welcome to our community!

We have a 40 gallon tote, some pine shavings, food/water dispensers and a Brinsea EcoGlow 600 Brooder.
Chick grit, feed, starter and Save-A-Chick to get us going. Any other necessary supplies or in case of emergency items we should have on hand?

That sounds pretty good!

I'll be putting my 6 in a box in the bathroom for the first day, so I can keep the ambient room temperature around 80, and adjust it down every few hours.
After a few days-week?, I'll transfer them to a 5x5 pet tent.

I didn't buy grit. They only had 25 pound bags!

On day 3, I plan to gather a bit of soil from their future run. The lady at the farm store said that they would get enough grit from that, and it will keep them busy every day which should keep them happy, I hope. She said to cut any tall grass away so that it can't get stuck in their throats.

Good luck with yours!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Definitely take the time to install the additional ventilation. It's one of the most important aspects of a chicken coop.
