Raise them. I use scrap pieces of 2x4s or 2x6s. High enough to keep a lot of the bedding out but low enough for the munchkins to reach.
You will need to expand within a month, so prepare. Those chicks and meets will grow fast!

I finally got my chicks and guinea fowl. I have 40 one week old birds in
a brood box that is 4' X 6'. They seem to have enough room for now. My
big problem is keeping the waterers clean of wood chips. No matter how
often I clean them, the chicks scratch chips into the waterers. I put
the waterers on a square of plywood so they aren't on the 'ground', but
the birds are still messing them up.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Debbie
