Number of days in brooder

[MethowPeeps25]

Does anyone have a recommendation of how many days/weeks chicks should stay in a brooder? I'm trying to figure out when I should get my chicks and knowing how long it would be until they moved out to the brooder would be helpful. Thanks!

they should stay there untill fully featherd, about 4-6 weeks

i usually wait 6-8 weeks depending on the breed and the temp outside.

4-6 weeks here also, but it does depend on your housing and the temperature outside.
