Between what ages would I be able to house on 1/2 X 1/2 wire? Chicks would probably spend the first week inside anyways. I originally planned on putting chicks in these coops.

BUT After about 20 minutes the shavings are disgusting. Well maybe not exactly 20 minutes but it sure seems like it! I usually change shavings for the adults once or twice a week. Plus all the chicks do is kick up shavings in their feeders. Boy they sure are a hand full.

Thought I would also post a picture of 32 serama eggs that I put in the bator 3 days ago! The eggs are so tiny. I could probably fit almost 50 in my brinsea. Thanks again Jerry for the eggs!

Each pen is 3ft by 2ft and 2 ft tall. They could probably fit a trio but I will probably stick to pairs.
