The layout for a spot brooding set-up, which would be typical for 1,000 chicks on day one, is shown in Figure 9. Chicks are placed in a 5 by 5 m or 16.4 by 16.4 ft2 (25 m2/269 ft2) space, which gives an initial stocking density of 40 chicks per m2 (3.7 chicks per ft2). If stocking density is increased, the number of feeders and drinkers, and the heating capacity of the brooder, should also be increased accordingly.
