4'x8' and even that for 6 weeks might be a bit on the small sideWhat size brooder would y'all suggest for 15-25 chicks for about 6 weeks?
Here is my weekend project. Brooder box made from some scrap wood, a couple of old screen frames, some 1/4x1/4 and 12x1/2 wire mesh, a piece of beadboard, and a couple of pieces of crown moulding on top. My husband thinks I'm crazy for the paint scheme, but I want our babies to have a rockin nursery. Haven't decided if I should paint the trim on top black or keep it white? What do you think?
Oh, I plan to cover the sides and bottom when The chicks are new to maintain warmth. I live in South Alabama so we stay pretty warm...70 degrees yesterday 1/12.
