The first thing you might want to know is why I have chicks in my house. The main reason is that I don't have a barn to start them in. There are many things chicks require and warmth and security are two of the most important. First I have set up an enclosure to keep them where I want them. I use a child's pool to keep them draft free. This also helps eliminate some of the dust that you will have from the chicks scratching around in their litter. I have a lamp for warmth and feeder and water dishes that I purchased from my local feed store. On the floor of the pool I use shavings such as you would use for small animal cages i.e. hampsters.
