I like to give them 2 s.f./chick when they are 3 weeks old because they are flitting around like parakeets, enjoying those flight feathers... if they have the chance. I brood my chicks outside, in a spare coop, so space is not such an issue. You might consider picking up an appliance box. Nice and roomy, and free!
