Make sure the woodchips are animal friendly. If not, then Straw gives them endless fun, especially if you throw a few handfuls of mixed corn in there, they'll be grubbing about all day! And when they've finished with the straw, you have homemade manure, just need to let it rot down.

Thanks for the advice, it's greatly apreciated, just found another two eggs in the coop!! thats six today!! so I'm hoping their settled in now and they'll keep laying, but the eggs are a bonus really, I had chooks when I was a boy, so I wanted them for my little girl coz she likes eggs with soldiers and my big nearly 17 year old lad "loves de cake" so any eggs are greatfully recieved hence me going to the park collecting bugs for a treat for them.
It's also nice to be able to be that little bit more independant.
Even though your going to live with your boy, you still have your accumilated knowledge that you can put into use should the need arise.
People with even just knowledge and no kit are in a better position than those with nothing.
