    BROODER thread! Post pics of your brooders!

    Love some of these ideas! How big of a space should you have for 10 chicks? And how warn are they supposed to be for the first while? Its still pretty chilly here (more snow today yay) So I'm trying to decide if I should keep them inside for a bit first. Thoughts appreciated!

    @Suzanne Dunn That's what I have read is they can be bullies...they will be 2 months old before I get my other three so I'm thinking I'm gonna have to keep them separate till the three get big enough to fight back a bit lol

    Chicks coming in a week, any advice?

    Yeah it is a fair sized shed, thats what I was wondering is if I should keep them in a smaller area to start. I know they need to get away from the heat though too in case.
