Oh man- the one we got is 4x7. I will investigate returning!

I have more immediate needs right now in terms of brooding them. Originally, we were planning to get older coop ready chicks- but WOW- chickens are a hot commodity right now with shelter in place going on. It was a major coup for me to get these from a local feed store.
From what I am reading- Sooooooo many different ways to do it. My friend recommended the red neck brooder box? Basically a Rubbermaid, couple of seed mats, towels, etc. looks like a pretty simple setup- but does anyone have experience or suggestions using that method?

Thx

The seedling mats will not get warm enough for young chicks.
Do a search in the Articles tab for Momma Heat Pad. They work great!
