Crowing
14 yesterday
been BUSY!! chicks doing alright
was gonna go to TSC and get some more but I think I will pack the brooder and overcrowd.
It's 3x8 so 24 square feet and ostensibly that's enough for quite a lot of chicks but I won't let them out to free range for WEEKS so not sure about that. Not quite sure how many I can really brood in there for comfort.
edit; did some Googling and it looks like 12 should work out
I have 11 in there now, but there are a bunch of Cockerels, we think 3 and maybe 5
So as they grow will be removing those (I will keep 1)
