NICE!!
love itWhere did you come up with that, what is it? I'd have a hard time using something like that without some kind of enclosed top due to the free range kitties on my property. I keep my little girls on the back porch, which is covered but open to the outdoors.
You are going to need quite a bit of space if you are going to keep them in a brooder for that long. My biggest brooder is a 2 ft x 4 ft metal stock tank. I currently have 11 four week old chicks in it and it is too small for them. I've started putting them in a temporary outside pen for a few hours a day to give them room to play. Today I will be cleaning out my outdoor brooder which is around 4 ft x 8 ft. The chicks are almost feathered out and will be moved out there permanently within the week. I have 20 more chicks that just hatched and we are planning on building a bigger brooder for them. It is either build a bigger one or use more than one. They are only a few days old but will outgrow their 1 1/2 ft x 3 ft brooder in the next 3-4 days.How do you estimate the size of brooder you need for 15 chicks and wanting to keep th in the brooder for 8-10 weeks?
I wouldn't want to put them in seperate brooders or we might have issues when combing them all into the coop. I had another thought of stacking the open parts of the tubs on top of each other too if I needed more height. My hubby has to build the coop so will just make sure it is done by about 4-6 weeksYou are going to need quite a bit of space if you are going to keep them in a brooder for that long.
