1. How big of a brooder will I need for 4-5 chicks?
2. Can it be as simple as a cardboard box or should I build a wood one? (these will be my first and only flock unless chicken math kicks in!)
3. How high should the walls be?
4. good place to buy chix feed online or go to feed store (40 min away).
5. Ideally, How long will I keep them in brooder (afraid to put heat lamp in coop for fire safety reasons...one garage fire is enough for me)
That's it for now.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
