I have a roughly 5 x 3 box I was planning on being my brooder box. I plan to have 10 meat birds and 5-8 other egg layers. Would my box be big enough or do I need to get a second brooder?
I am planning to order my first chicks in the next week or so. Is a heat lamp necessary this time of year in middle Georgia? The temps when they come in will most likely be in the 80s-90s during the day and high 60-70s at night. Thanks!
