Hey guys new to owning chickens! I recently bought 5 chickens 4 hens and 1 rooster, all are 2 weeks old. What should I be doing at this age? I just transitioned them into the insulated coop with a heat lamp on, should I have a light on inside the coop for day time or just leave the coop door open?

Any information is appreciated, I have plymouth chickens and live in Northern Alberta cananda so currently we have spring weather with lows down to -5 some nights and highs of +25 during the day. Thanks in advance everyone.
