Ideas for items to raise baby chicks in.

[Chickenlover614]

My family and I are getting 25 new baby chicks here pretty soon. I was wandering who had an idea of what we can keep them in until they are old enough to put in a coop. We already had raised 6 and we put them in a cage and kept them like that. But we can't find a cage big enough for 25 chicks.

A refrigerator box might be big enough if you can find one. At least for a while. Better start looking for two.

Hello! I keep my two ducklings in two small cages put together. They are very happy with it. Instead of a warm side and cool side of the brooder, we have a warm and cool cage! Perhaps you can do something like that? But with larger cages

You will need about 1 to 1.5 square feet per chick by the time they are a month old.
