Hi!! I'm new to the chicken keeping world and I'm gonna get probably 3 or 4 chicks. Either 2 females and a male or 3 females and a male, but they'll be chicks when i get them and I was just wondering if a 10 gallon tank with a hood and a 75 watt heat lamp would suffice until they grow up and are ready to be put outside. If not should I buy a large plastic box? I have a long hamster cage to maybe put them in. What should I do!? What about a large cardbaord box with paper towels in the bottom? In my fish tank i was gonna put down some paper towels, and a clean soft dishrag underneath the heat lamp. What should I do? Please help!
