That was a thought my husband had...we have a large pet crate that we tried crate training our pup in (till I couldn't take the wimpering...lol). Chicks get big quick...

That's exactly what I am doing. Have chicks arriving next week.you WILL get tired of having them inside! besides the peeping and the smell, they scratch which makes more dust then i thought was possible!
if i were you, make your outside coop into a brooder. you still have time!
make it draft free, but with air circulation, and able to maintain the proper temperature for chicks with heat lamps. i bet you can do it!!
good luck
I'm reading all these comment and I'm still not sure what to do. I have 15 ICA Reds and they are growing rapidly at only 2 n a half weeks old they have feathers andsome are flying out of their brooder. I have them indoors with a heat lamp in a medplastic horse trout and it's getting really tiring getting them off edges and chasing them around when they actually get out. I say their too young and don't want them ding cause of the chilly nite temp 30s here now. Some chicks are not as mature as the others..thinking may we should move the ones with feathers then bring the less mature in the small coop we made for them. Any suggestions or comment would greatly be appreciated!
