    Mixing chicks one month apart.

    I have 35 chicks that range from 1 month to 2 months in age. In the past I had a 1'x2' brooder and I would put no more than a few chicks in it. I built a bigger brooder that' 5'x5' and it works perfect. The only thing is, need to have plenty of food, water and roost for the chicks chicks.
