First Question...... How many chicks are you planning to raise???
The cardboard box idea is not a bad one. You can use a plastic tote tub as well. The key to keeping things dry is pine shavings on bottom. You do need to replace when soiled and/or wet of course. Use waterers that will not tip over easily. Place pebbles into them so baby chicks do not drown in...... Marbles work also.
Have container large enough so there is now crowding, and also provide heat at one end of the brooder. Reason.... So there is enough room for chicks to find a comfort zone... Not too hot/ not too cool..
WISHING YOU BEST..![]()
