how much room do 2 dozen chicks need?

[mopinko]

11. gonna get them 2nd week in april.

should be fine weather by the time they are fledged. will make sure they have an enclosure of some sort. they will have a cyclone fence enclosure that should keep dogs and coyotes out. my neighbor has a salmon net for me to cover the pen.
rodents will be the worst of it, but if need be i will send the terriers to stand guard, from the outside.
just caught my other neighbor, who has a playpen she would like to get rid of, as i suspected she might.
so, on our way, one way or another.
