Do you think this will be big enough for 6 chicks for at least 2 weeks?
The space is 15 inches by 12 inches.
I just hope the little buggers have enough space!
-Thanks! Haven’t brood since I was 8!

Too small IMO, there's next to no open floor space. Recommended minimum for 6 chicks at 2 weeks would be 3 sq ft and this is less than half of that.

Also those thin gaps between the wood panels might be large enough to catch toes. I've unfortunately had a chick kill itself over having its toe stuck in a gap.

Well time for pack’n play set up for plan B
