[CHICKENS-101] New to group and new to raising chickens

 

Hello, our family just purchased 6 chicks, all female for laying. They are still in their indoor heated containment, but I am very new to this and am hoping to find some good advice and suggestions here. Currently, my biggest worry is about how to construct a hen house/ coop in our back yard, havent gone round the library yet, hoping to find a book or two there, since everything online is terribly pricey for even some basic coop plans. im really just looking for some guidelines, and since im in upstate NY i need to make sure its well insulated for the winter.
also, is 6 a good number, or should we get a few more? ( and if we wait to get more later on, will they fight each other if not raised together?)any advice or suggestions are very much appreciated! thanks everyone!
