brooding 40+ chicks

[Bug n Flock]

We got a hatchery surprise box as a christmas gift this year. It includes 40-50+ baby poultry. I have never brooded this many chicks at one time before. Don't even know if they will all be chickens. Any helpful hints for larger scale brooding and what to use for a large brooder?

Thanks

Will make another thread when the chicks arrive so you all can help me identify the little cuties. We got the 'hatchery surprise' assortment from Cackle Hatchery.

Edit: our hatch/ship date for these chicks is March 4. We have a lot more chicks arriving in June too.

You’ll probably need a few feeding troughs to use as brooders and buy some larger waterers and some trough feeders.
