My new babies from McMurray's arrived promptly this morning all 56 of them are fat sassy and running all over the brooder.
To those who have a lot of chicks coming, can I ask where/what size brooders do you use to brood such large amounts of chicks? I have 7 chicks and I am already wondering what I am going to do with them when they out grow the brooders I have, before they can go outside.
What is the min. brooder size for 7 chicks?
I love this and am going to keep your list. We are new to the chicken thing, but I love the idea of a colorful basket and am learning as much as I can right now.I do! In fact, they should ship out today and get here Friday! I ordered:
7 Ameraucana (EE) pullets and 1 cockerel
6 cuckoo Marans pullets
5 partridge Chentecler pullets and 1 cockerel
3 Ancona pullets
Mostly I ordered them for a colorful egg basket, but I may use the EEs and Marans to try and make some olive eggers. My husband requested the Chenteclers, we've had that breed before and he really enjoyed them. I'm hoping they throw a few packing peanuts I the box too. Mine are coming from Ideal, can't wait!
We placed an order with Cackle Hatchery and are expecting them the end of this week. Starting to get very nervous about the trip, it is supposed to be very cold. I hope they all survive, we ordered the 5 pullet small town special. Will update when they arrive.

This is what we've ordered also, the small town special. Five banties. Please let me know how your babies do! I'm so nervous for all of us!! I hope they all make it fine and warm and safe. This is out first time ordering chicks.
