Quick Brooder Question

[5Chickens]

Okay. I may be getting about 15-18 chicks in June and I would like to go ahead and build the brooder. For this amount of chicks, how big will the brooder need to be? I would like the brooder to last until they are old enough to go in the big coop.

Thank you to any fast feedback!

Figure on 1 square foot of floor area per chick and you will be OK to 8 wks.
