I have 24 chickens right now....9 extra thanks to Ideal sending me "roos for warmth". I ASSumed that would be like 3 or something. (eyeroll) Silly me! And I kind of expected a few of the chicks to perish...kind of setting myself up emotionally if they all didn't survive. Well I think I have the 24 hardiest chickens around! So that is GOOD, but now they are almost 6 weeks and I don't know where to put them.
We live in Southern VA, but this winter has been unusually cold. I was thinking of moving them to the coop around Amrch 1st, at 10 weeks old. If I do that, I have got to figure out a way to make mroe room in the brooder or make another brooder, etc. Advice welcome!
Can they be too crowded? How would you know?
Thanks!
