I'm reading that you should aim for 2.5 sq ft per chick. This seems odd to me because every picture I've seen has not been anywhere ear this size.
Last weekend I ripped a piece of standard plywood three times in order to create a square brooder that is 2 x 2, or 4 square feet. I'm not going to build a 40 square foot brooder. How long do you all think my brooder will be of adequate size?
By the time they are 4 weeks of age, the average low temp outside is 65 degrees over night. I was thinking I might just move them out there. Should this idea be abandoned? I guess I can expand the size of the brooder (in a draft free garage) if need be.
