I have a dog kennel that I turned into a brooder. I have four three week old chicks in it. Two BO and Two BR. Today or tomorrow I should be getting a call from the post office for my new chicks: 10 rare breed mix and 5 clean legged banties.
I was planning on keeping all of the chicks in the same brooder, with a wire divider for a couple of weeks to keep the little ones separate from the older girls.
But I think it might be a bit crowded, so I thought of putting the baby banties in a separate old antique brooder I have and put wire on the door and place it next to the larger kennel door so they can all see each other. Would that be all right?
I'm a newbie and these are all my first chickens. Thanks for the help.
