What size????

[apc]

What size brooder do I need to have for 25 chicks? What i have seems almost too small. Even a genera rule would be fine. 5X5 just seems big. Is there a differance for bantams? thanks

You can go smaller with bantams.

I'd start out for the first two weeks in something at least 4' x 2'.

After that they start getting big. by four weeks they need more space... by 6 weeks they don't need heat as much.
