I use a childs Pack N Play & a Producers Pride brooder/heat plate. Holds a lot of chicks, very easy to clean, & stores well(very little space) when not in use. I use an old baby gate on top when they start to be able to jump out.
I have an idea on a series you could make that would help thousands of people. Try maximizing a 2 acre plot with chickens, pigs and 1 cow ( if possible ). A plot the size of a football field and try maximizing it production. I know multiple people that watch this show and have between 2 to 3 acres. Maybe it'll be fun for you to try to achieve it and would help thousands of people.
I am getting 3. Only because the farm store has a minimum. Looking to make them pets as they graze for bugs and eat table scraps. Also the fertilizer will be a big help.
I got some new chicks this year from Tractor Supply, they are called Wellrunner, a dual purpose breed, but trying to reseach them online...no information!
What will you do with them after about 4 weeks? My 13 5-week olds are coming out of the refrigerator box. It is covered, though. The sparring is getting old.
