I have a brooder (30x36) with two different roosts, a feeder and a circluer(sp) waterer. Is this big enough for 25 almost fully feathered chicks?

I have seen recommendations between 0.5 sq ft and 1.5 sq ft per chick for brooders. At 0.5 sq ft, that brooder could hold only 15 chicks. And if they are almost fully feathered they would be at the larger end of their space requirement.

My brooders about that size and my 8 4-weekers don't have a ton of extra room, I'm not sure it'll last them much longer.

Ok, thanks. Need to finish that coop I'm building
