New baby chicks

[Tomi witt]

I've raised chicks indoors (in a spare bathroom) and outdoors, directly in the run, once I got things set up for it. I never want to brood indoors again due to dander and also outdoor brooding makes integrating easier when you have existing birds. Here's a link to my brooder/integration article: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/short-on-time-recycle-a-prefab-brooder.73985/

If you can't safely brood inside the coop or run due to space, lack of equipment, etc then I'd aim for as close to outside as possible. So maybe the screened porch you mentioned would work.

Great thank you!!
