Colorado

i got these chicks at northern colorado feeders supply in ft collins.

That's where I ordered all 12 of mine. I love the girl that works there! Can't say enough positive about her. That's the only place ill probably go just because I had such a positive experience plus she was able to get me exactly what I wanted! :)
 

Do you think I need an additional feeder? These girls don't give clean water 5 minutes and they have to kick bedding in it. I had my first escapee yesterday. Had to put a lid on the open end of the brooder.

I actually used an old dog water bowl. It is one that has a wide base and it's partially hollowed out around the bowl itself underneath (if that makes any sense). Anyways, I flipped it over and put the waterer on top, so it raises it up and makes a little catch all area around the waterer. There's still lots of pop in there, but it has cut down on the shavings.
 
All this talk of new chicks! I got my marans and buff orp babies tonight. I haven't figured out how to post pics, yet, though.

Where did you get them from, and how old?

Good idea

From the feed store here in Parker. They're about a week old. The post office kept them over night and several of the chicks died. The store wanted to make sure the rest would survive before they sold them.
