This might be a weird question, but how long do you need to keep the corners rounded out for chicks?
We have had our chicks for two weeks now [tomorrow] and we put cardboard in the corners to keep them "rounded out" so that way the chicks weren't crowding or suffocating each other. I found one this morning behind the cardboard (I'm guessing she got back there overnight). I'm wondering if the cardboard can't be removed now that they're old enough? Or will they still crowd to the corners - so should we just add more cardboard to make the rounded corners taller? We have 50 sweet girls. Thank you!!!
