I envy how you have jumped right into this. Have you read "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver. Have I mentioned this before? I think that you might like it. Wow!

They don't have to be the same breed, but if they're the same colour, they usually don't fight or peck each other. Your chickens are delightful.  It's wonderful to see them grow.

I love the music experiment. There was a book written on how sound energies affect the living world around them including animals, land and water. I wonder if your chicks fall asleep with a certain song playing over and over in their heads, or if that is reserved for humans only.

Lots of room for them to roam and be chickens. I found that as they age you can raise the feeders and waterer's up on patio tiles and concrete blocks to keep the chicks from kicking litter in them as they scratch.
