Wow - kind of an overwhelming site! I am a first-timer, and will be ordering 8 Buff Orpingtons and 8 Silver Laced Wyandottes at the end of February. Our local feed store says too many of them freeze to death on the loading dock of our big city post office waiting for transfer to our little town post office before then. Anyway, I have built a 2 foot x 4 foot brooder box, and had thought they could live there until 6-8 weeks. But now I am thinking that box is too small for that many chicks? How long can I keep them there before moving them to the great outdoors? They are going to be free range chicks with a big coop (unless the predators get them, and then we'll look at a pen).
