Quote: Thanks, Deanne! If it doesn't work out, I'll probably wait until after Brian's graduation in May and order from MPC or something...

Quote: So I just hopped on the Ideal web site and noticed that their BA's and BO's are now back-ordered until May, so if I wanted to add extras to your order, they'll be out of what I want when the Brabanters you want become available!

If I get chicks in late March, could I assume they'd be able to be out in the coop without heat by mid May in our area? *My first trip away is May 13th (my son is graduating from Vanderbilt in Tennessee so we have a 4 day weekend planned...I can't believe I forgot that when planning spring...

If you tweak your order, can you add in a Black Austrolorp and a Buff Orpington (pullets) for me? I would take the BO, the BA, a Cuckoo Maran and an EE. And if you end up getting Columbian Wyandottes, I'd take one of those, too...if not, then I'd probably take a Brabanter. I'd like to end up...

LOL! I don't know about being psychic! Just still thinking about chickens! Are you keeping them all or will you have extras available? Did you/will you order all pullets?

Have you found a place to get all the chicks you wanted, Deanne?

So now I'm thinking about Welps, they have the biggest variety I've found. I'm so torn.... I want a brabanter from Ideal but think I'll settle for an Ancona (both white egg layers), some Wyandottes, EE's, and a Welsummer. I need really winter hardy breeds because I don't heat the coop but I...

Who are you ordering from, Deanne?

Chickens always seem like a great idea in the spring, summer and fall. Then once winter comes...not so much! LOL! I work outside with animals as a pet sitter and complain all winter long. On a day like today, owning outside animals doesn't seem like a great plan.

I"ve been MIA for a few months but I'm back. Residing in beautiful, snowy Fitchburg. My flock got wiped out about 2 weeks ago, still deciding what to do for replacements. I have to wait until spring though to redo the run and coop door. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that! Do you know what got...

If you go to petfinder.com, Nevins Farm in Methuen has a listing for hens available, too. Not sure how far that is from you...

Where are the two coop models on Klem's web site? Couldn't find pics?

I'm from North Central Mass, too (Fitchburg). There are also other Mass people on the New England forum in this section. I don't have chickens yet, this is my summer for planning the coop/run, but I'm having trouble with black bears in my yard this spring! They keep coming back. I do feed...
