Do you have the chicks already? or are you just gathering equipment right now?

ETA there are a couple of us on the north side of town. Not sure of who might be in your area unfortunately...

I am hoping to get my chicks in the 14th of may! I was supposed to get 3 but the lady now isn't sure she will have my brahma baby then but I'm not ready to get them today so I would rather get them next month and maybe not get my light brahma...

i got most of my stuff from Tractor supply. Not real expensive, and if your only looking to have a handful pf chicks you can get away with 1 feeder and 1 water. i spent 20 bux on the lamp and 2 bulbs, prolly the most i spent on a single item. A Cardboard box will make a fine brooder...and the bedding is only 5 dollars for a big bundle that will last you until they outgrow their brooder depending on how often you will be cleaning it.
