My chicks are almost 3 weeks old, I 18 of them my brooder is 3 and a half feet long and 2 feet wide and looks like its getting tight in there. Does anyone have any ideas, if that is big enough or not?
Our was a 3' x 5' oval with 25 chicks and it was wall to wall chickens by 8 weeks. Didn't get the coop ready as soon as we would have liked. You will probably need more room soon.
They grow fast, and it sounds to me like you should at least double your brooder space, if not more. Good luck! There is a link on here somewhere with pictures of people's brooders. Lots of good ideas there...
