and I still have chicks inside.

I probably will for the rest of the year. It was snowing yesterday.

They got upgraded from a brooder to a section of my guinea pig pen (seperated from the remaining guinea pig):

I have 4 RIR chicks, 1 andalasion? chick, 11 Quails chicks and 4 broiler chicks in my laundry room.
And 6 baby ducks, muscovy and pekin duck out side.
I love having chicks in the house, any season, as long as they can stay inside it's fine with me.

Their 5x7' is in process in the basement and as soon as I can tell roos I'm only keeping 3 or 4 hens. 35sq ft should hold several pullets until march.
 
It would cost more to insulate and heat the coop in Iowa than to add a new addition on my house.

Same here! I have 16 three week old bantam mixes in a rabbit hutch converted to a brooder sitting next to my computer desk.

I had them in the brooder out in the big coop, but with the temps getting so cold, I was really worried what would happen if the light bulb blew out.

I have some eggs under a broody hen and a few in the incubator, but I don't know if any of those will hatch. I could end up with more though.
