Last May 2013 and they didn't start g until March 2014 so me personally I won't count on any eggs until next year. But keep an eye on their wattles as they mature enough they should get darker...

    How big should the brooder be?

    Poles should be fine because they are not in constant contact with them on their feet, don't use cedar shaving for any animals the oil in the shavings is harsh on their flesh. Pine shavings are best. Some people like hay or straw for bedding, straw & hay is messy.

    Heat lamps...

    I use a simple house old 100w light bulb in a heat lamp fixture and plug it into a timer set to be on at 5am and off about 10 pm the latest, this way they can stay just warm enough and it keeps the egg production up and not stress them, and the electric but is a little kinder to the pocketbook...

    How big should the brooder be?

    Liam, Flock Masters measurements are very good for that many for a while if you have the room, it is very nice, but if you keep them out side like in the coop or garage I would reccomend either cardboard sides be put up or some sort of sides along with a heat lamp or light bulb, I personally...
