New to chickens and need first few days detailed advice

I couldn't find a really good sized box for my 50 this year. I went to the furniture store and got three or four mattress boxes and folded them into the back of my car. Then I created a big brooder out of them and a roll of, of course, duct tape.

A single box would have been better, but.... it worked.

Usually, furniture stores are pretty cooperative, I find.

Yeah, lots of folks use those old fashioned plastic wading pools -- but plan on a screen top of some sort pretty quickly.
