They come with the feather footed bantams, and the feather footed fancies. 

Matt, I bought this many last year or more.  When I go for something I really go for it.  I love my chickens and babies.  Sorry you almost lost your coffee, that should be caffeine abuse!  LOL

Moon, This is the first time ordering from McMurray's, but I am sure others can answer that question for you.

Bama, you've been sick so don't worry about it.  My brother is pastoring for us now and am getting fed the word!  Never hurts to have back up though!  You take care of yourself first.

Thanks for the comments everyone, I will send pics as I get it together more.  Take care and have a very blessed day!

Yes I do!  LOL Last year I ordered 50 chicks from Runnings and came home with 54, went back a week later and bought a few more, then waited a month and came home with 24.  I like to do things big when I do it, that way I can get it over with!  LOL

Mine is similar. I'll get some pics soon when I do the cleaning. It's a dog crate, with some 1x2s across the bottom of the wire grating with some .25" hardware cloth stapled onto the 1x2s. There is a plastic tray, but most of the poop ended up on the wire. So now I've dumped a deep layer of pine needles in their. Problem with that, the chicks would scratch the needles out of the crate. So then I got some .25" plywood and made some exterior walls for the crate. Now the pine needles are contained in the crate, the chicks are happy, and the smell isn't so deathly.

I have yet to put some legs under it and a plywood bottom on it that hinges so I can dump the shavings.  Any suggestions would be welcome.
