Hi,
Another Newbie here. I have had hens through the years but this will be my first time raising chicks (meat birds) I have 26 coming and I want to start them in a Rubbermaid type plastic tub. I am wondering if I can divide the chicks into two tubs? Will they be OK to move them all into one larger space in a few weeks? I am wondering if they would pick at each other. Just seems that even the big tubs are not really roomy enough for 26 chicks, but fine for a dozen.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
