I have 25 chicks coming soon. I have a 10'x12' barn stall I was planning on putting them in. But is it too big??? Will they be able to find the heat lamp and food etc? Should I try to confine them in part of the stall?
 
I'd definitely circle in a smaller part of the area for them. They won't need nearly that much space as babies. Enjoy the little ones!
 
I would make a smaller area to start with,just put some boards around perimeter. That way they can't wander too far away from heat source and food, or get stuck in a corner far away.
