New to chickens

[Kims-Little-Zoo]

Hi everyone I’m so glad I found this forum. Im Kim and new to raising chickens. I bought a house last year and they had a chicken coop in the backyard so I figured why not this could be fun. The chickens should fit in with the 4 dogs 1 cat 5 Chinchillas 1 tortoise and a fish. So I’ve added 8 hens. 4 Rhode Island Reds, 4 I’m not sure what they are but they are super cute balls of fluff right now. I’ve got one Red Ms Nugget (2 years old) who thinks she should be the only chick we have, so she has her own coop and area to free range in. My other 3 Reds just moved out to there coop they are about 12 weeks old. The newest 4 are only 2 weeks old and I haven’t got a clue what kind they are. Any help would be appreciated. Also need a new coop any recommendations would be great. Thank you
