We just ordered 15 female baby chicks that are due to be delivered on Wed. I ordered 5 Delaware x Hampshire Cross Chickens and then 10 of the assorted heavy breeds from e-fowl. Spending the weekend building a brooder and coop. We built an 8 x 8 coop and also want to house some guinea foul. I've been stalking this site for a few weeks and have learned so much! Can't wait for my babies to arrive.
