    The brooder is at 75 degrees. The show chicks will head to the school's indoor pen, but our 3 will get a 6x6 coop and an expandable pvc chicken run.

These 3 Cornish x are almost 3 weeks, and are technically for my sister's ffa project. But, they definitely won't make show. They have been given a high protein diet and fed 24/7. I...

    No. It's on the ground. I will definitely raise it up and bring in another tank or perhaps move them to the larger space sooner. Thank you for the advice. I appreciate it.
