I have to wait how long?

I went to an urban chicken class at my local park, and one of the big questions on my list (one that I had not been able to get a good answer to from book or online research) was: How long do my chickens need to live in my basement?

I wasn’t too happy about the answer. 16 weeks! That’s almost 4 months!

“Uh…can they live in a tub that size for that long?” I asked, pointing at the identical tub in a corner of the classroom. Apparently so.

But they keep growing! According to some online sources, they could be 7 pounds each by 16 weeks.

Gulp.
