My chicks are almost 3 weeks old and are currently living in a medium sized dog cage. They are starting to bump into each other and have standoffs, when they try to fly around they crash into things. I was trying to brain storm on new ways to make a brooder thats big enough for all 7 chicks does...

Oh i also used old bed sheets over litter and that worked for me too. I have never heard any one say anything bad about that. the only problem with the sheets is you have to have multiple sheets so you can switch them out.
