I just wanted to say that I too have 14 chicks inside. What my husband did was to go out behind Sears and get two large appliance boxes. He did some cutting, used some duct tape and the reslut was a brooder that is about 4 1/2 feet long by 3 1/2 feet wide. He had a piece of plexiglass that he cut a hole for in the side and used duct tape as well to put that on. All 14 are happy, although the (who are almost 6 weeks) are going to be going out to the coop today or tomorrow.
here is the brooder, you can't quite see all of it, but you get the idea " )
I cannot imagine the mess you have on your hands! I have to clean this brooder each morning! You must have to clean that out several times a day!
Good luck to you!
