I agree, the brooder is too small for them, they need more space to run, play, escape each other, etc. They grow super fast! If you do have the coop ready and no other chickens, they can go in the coop with the heat lamp or heating pad whichever you choose.
I use a 118gal. stock tank for my chicken brooder and I normal buy 5-8 chicks at a time for this area.
