You can get an idea from this pic. I'm going to use wood panels that I have as siding when it's all finished. The gals are getting close to needing this thing!!
OK I took all your advice and made a chicken palace out of a bunch of 12x12 boxes. It's a 1.5 sq ft per chick. They are all (of course) staying in one of the boxes and ignoring most of the others.
I have 8 chicks that are getting bigger (and bigger (and bigger))) and I'm trying to figure out if I need to space them out. I have them in a tub that is 30" x 20". I'm thinking I'm going to run out of space soon. What do you have your chicks in?!!?
We picked up 6 chicks (one died) from Tractor Supply and we have no clue what they are bc the Tractor Supply guys weren't sure what they had. I have 2 Golden Sex Links and an Ameracauna as well. The guy said they were reds but.....um......they dont look like the reds I've seen.
Here they are...
