Brooders

Hey, folks! My husband and I raised our first chicks a few years ago while living on a farm in Georgia. We we're lucky to have a cozy chicken house to keep our girls in until they could move into the chicken tractor. Now we have moved to the city and have ordered 10 chicks for a permanent coop. We plan to use a plastic tote in our garage, but I would love some suggestions for keeping them comfortable and having enough space as they grow in those first few weeks since they will probably get too crowded in the tub, but will be too young for the coop. Thoughts?

So you don't currently have adult chickens? Do you have electricity in the coop or can you run it out there? If yes to both questions, would be easiest to just raise them in the coop.
