How big does my brooder need to be???

[miss_thenorth]

I'm getting 26 meat chicks, either on May 6, orMay 27. Considering they need to be indoors for about 3 weeks, how big does my brooder need to be? I am assuming they would grow quite a bit within that 3 wk time frame.

Thanks !

Big enough, so that you can become addicted like the rest of us, so you will buy more. LOL

They will want to huddle for a while so not too big.

25 meat chicks id put them in a 2 by 2 brooder.an that should hold you for a week or 2.
