Hi I just got these chicks like two days ago and I’m really new to owning chickens. I’m not sure if this brooder is big enough for them, but I have 6 in here right now. Should I upgrade them? They’re about 2-3 days old.
I’m also getting them a second feeding dish since one doesn’t seem like enough.

Don’t mind the poop, I just woke up and I’m about to change the paper towel.

it definitely won’t be big enough once you get another feeder. If you can find an appliance box that is the best thing I’ve found to brood in because you can throw it away after. Plastic totes are easy to clean but good at trapping ammonia and carbon dioxide which can be bad news for chicks. Something they can see through would be even better so when you move them out into the coop it’s not such a shock (little box to big wide world). Sometimes a wire dog kennel works for this when they’re bigger
