question on houseing babies

[barg]

1) It seems like ive had these chickens longer, but earlier today I added it up and, they will be 2 weeks old on wednsday.
They are growing faster then I expected. I have them in a tub as shown in the picture.

Is this big enough for them?
How long can I keep them in a tub this size?



2 Black Australorps, 2 Dominiques all will be 2 weeks on Wednsday

Your chickies are so pretty!! No way will they fit in there till 8 weeks old. If you think they are growing fast now, just wait!!

When can you get the coop enclosed? You can just have the basics for now - nesting boxes can come later. They won't be happy enclosed in a tub. Mine are 8 weeks and I have been letting them free range for about 2 weeks now.

Here's the size of 8 week old chickens (about the size of footballs):
