Pen for baby Chicks

[crazychicken89]

How big do i need to build a pen for the baby chicks and their mom?

how many chicks?

Well maybe like 15 to 25.

are you talking temporary until you have a coop/run?? I had 25 chicks kept in a baby pool with chicken wire (3 ft) wrapped around it with a saw horse in the middle to roost and to keep my heat lamp on but this will only last for about a month at most....then they will need more room....

No just to keep them from getting pecked on by the other chicks. Just a pen to separate them from the other.

try the pool thing if you have the warm area to do so....it works great and cost wise, you can't go wrong! I had mine in a garage where no critters could get to them
