My brooder is ready. I have the food mixed to the proper ratio. I have the ACV and garlic infusing in the refrigerator. I bought a bale of hay for the bedding. I'm set...I think...lol

The kids are so excited about the chicks coming, but admittedly I think that I am more excited than they are.

We have decided to separate out the chicks that we purchased as broilers.

But I have a question about space. How much space do you need after a couple of weeks for 25 chicks? What size brooder do I need to build for them as they get bigger and when can they move to their permanent place outside?
 
kingsdaughter posted a pick of her brooder on the BROODER thread! She used a kiddie pool for 25 chicks, and it look like it is a good size for that number. There is a pic on the thread, post #2.
