Will this be okay?

Here's their brooder I get them next Friday! Yay!
It is a 100 liter sterilite tub 26x15

It has a chick feeder and jar and a rabbit (Double Ball) waterer thermometer heat lamp and I'll be putting Paper towels over the wood shavings am I missing anything but the chicks?

Looks good to me. Grats on the babies!

Looks good to me too! Just be double sure you introduce the beak of each chick to the waterer, they may not have ever used one like that and might need reminding. I have never used a waterer like that for my chicks, but if it works for you, let me know- it looks alot easier and cleaner and I would definatly try it.

I will I am a little worried about it but I will introduce their beaks and tap on it til they get the hang of it

and I'm going to put a pickle lid beneath it to catch water.

Anyone else? how long do you think 6 chicks can stay in this brooder?

 

[BriteChicken]

How long will they be able to stay in their brooder?

 

[mommathea]

Probably about 3wks or so before they'll need more space.
