Tomorrow my dad is getting baby chicks to add to our flock! I've raised up to 5 and 6 little babies at a time and now we are getting over 20!! how big of space do they need will they fit into a 100 gallon stock tank!! they are a few days old i believe. i have chick starter and little feeders and waters. we have a horse box thing for their water in the winter with a 16 by16 inch hole in it for a stock tank and if it fits in the coop we might use that.. dad doesnt want them in the house again as they smell. and garage is for the dogs.
our last batch of chicks are very friendly my large rooster is super friendly and loves people will run to me and fallow me around and walk around the roost/sand area while i work around the coop for food and attention. with that many chicks can i make them 'pets' or will it be too hard? what ages can they have stuff? like treats/grit/and such? what should their bedding be?
