The lattice square planting method sounds pretty neat. Thanks for the idea GB.
Fall sometimes come early around here. Average first frost is around early October.

I ordered some chicks from Meyer Hatchery last week and they are coming next Tuesday or Wednesday. I ordered one each of these: Ancona, Cuckoo Marans, Columbian Wyandotte(DS insisted on getting this one lol) and Silver Laced Wyandotte. So I better get things ready for their arrival.

Plenty of time, they can be out on their own without supplemental heat at 4 weeks. Out with heat any time. If you don't have a coop, start yesterday! They grow really fast.

Temps here has been in the mid 80's during the day and about 70 degrees at night. They will be ok in the coop(leave brooder inside the coop) at 4 weeks?
A friend has a rabbit hutch (the size of a truck tail gate, like picture below) that she wants to get rid of. I was thinking of taking that and put the chicks in and leave it in the coop. What do y'all think?

That will sure make them easier to take care of and keep them out of harm's way

I like a mixed flock of different breeds and colors. Have fun with your chicks.

Looking forward to it! I like a mixed flock as well and a variety of egg colors.
