Hi, everyone. My name is Liam and I've must have gone through a million threads before finally joining. I've ordered some chicks from McMurray for an April arrival (though I'm considering canceling and buying locally/in a NC). In either case I started working on the brooder recently. I know the general rule of them of sq ft per bird, especially if theyre kept in longer. One section is 2.5x2.5 and the other is 4x4. At the moment, the plan is to get a few speckled sussex, silver and golden laced wyandottes, easter eggers, and delawares. The square footage is a little smaller than what the number of birds require (not counting any additional chicks McMurray throws in atop the 15 min). I'm wondering if anyone with a similar mix of breeds did okay with similar sized brooder. Or if I'm having beginner paranoia. I want to stop any potential issuea asap.
Thanks for any advice
