My chicks are getting too big for their brooder- I must move them and while brainstorming , this is what I came up with. My husband just built a 900 sq ft 2nd garage/ workshop. I have a tractor coop for my babies for when they are able to go outside (4-6 weeks). If I move the tractor coop into the garage what would be best to put down for the floor/ bedding? The coop will be on the cement floor so something needs to be between the chicks and the concrete. It is too large of a space (4x10 approx) to completely cover with pine shavings for 6 weeks. I can cover part of it with bedding but what about the rest? Cardboard probably not a good idea... Plywood maybe? Any help is appreciated!
