ᕼi! I am planning on baby chicks. I've never done this before. I want to raise my chickens in a cardboard box in my garage. I am planning on getting 4 chicks. I was wondering if this box is big enough. It's 1 foot high, 1 foot wide, and 2 feet long. Let me know what you raised yours In and what you used. I am clueless.

It seems a bit small, in my opinion.

The big issues: Will they be warm enough? Can they get away from the heat lamp if they're too warm? Will they have a place to scratch/do chick things away from the food and water? Can you get a feeder and waterer in there?

Bear in mind that such a small box will become crowded quickly as they grow.

Chickens are an exciting experience! Welcome to the journey!
