We have recently moved to a new house which had an exisiting "dog jail" This is now converted to a coop and enclosure thanks to my wonderfully cleaver husband

After scrubbing out and disinfecting the coop, it now has a nice new roof - complete with small porch (ie overhanging roof!) - two nest boxes and a poop deck. Hubby is putting up a perch today and then we're good to go. I took myself off to Pets At Home yesterday to indulge myself in some chicken shopping, so we have a 1ltr feeder, 3ltr water, layers mash and shavings for the coop. I'm planning on using newspaper and shredded paper on the poop deck/floor as I can get plenty from work.
Now all we need is Saturday to come so that we can meet our new additions, 3 ex-battery hens

As a complete novice to keeping chickens I'd welcome any advice/tips/etc anyone is kind enough to take the time to give me.
Oh, and we don't have names for our girls yet so any suggestions on the front gratefully received too.
