Brooder size?

[Daphne16]

Hi,
I am getting 3 8 week olds and 3 4 week olds from Beth G. next weekend and am wondering how big of a brooder they should be in? We will be building the coop (4x6) the following weekend so hopefully they won't been in the brooder for too long.
Thanks

i have 10 6 week olds in a 1/2 pallet box with a shorter box attached for their feed and water and it's almost to small they are ready to get out because they are starting to "pick" on each other
