Ok so I am getting 20 chicks on March 1st and I was wondering how big the brooder has to be because I dont want to have to split them up because they will all be in the same coop and run together. (pictures of your brooders please)
 
i don't have any pics of mine but you can click on the coops tab and they have a brooder section there with lots of different ones. I tried to post a link but it ain't working for me for some reason,
 





5x8 utility trailer worked well for a large number of chicks. The BIGGER the better. They grow with lightening speed and need lots and lots of room to prevent picking and cannibalistic behaviors. I'd also use a couple of heat lamps. One lamp really cannot make a circle big enough for 20 chicks. Enjoy the experience.
