1. Do NOT put the peeps in with chickens..they will kill them! Your going to need wooden boards and chicken wire...chicken wire is not that expensive.... Also your going to need a barn to keep the chickens in at night..possums and raccoons will eat them!
2. Your coop needs around a minimum space of 1.5 sq ft per chicken. There are many coop designs. You need 2 x 4s and chicken wire. Coop has to have nesting room and doors. Bing or Google chicken coops and chicken raising, that will give you more detailed info.
