met Walli today to give her the black copper marans chicks she claimed and was nice enough to bring my 7 of her cute SFH chicks! THANKS WALLI! Enjoyed the visit at Tractor Supply! Course we checked out the ducks and chicks. NO neither one of us left with any TSC chicks. We just did the parking lot swap... lol Mine are tucked in with the other 2 left here that hatched this weekend. They are really cute!
 
Ooo I've looked for the plastic sheeting at Lowes and only found tiny sign-sized pieces... I'm going to Home Depot next time I go to town!!
I know the largest that Home Depot carries is 4'x4', I think. One of the brand names for the corrugated plastic is Coroplast. It is available in sheets of 4'x8', like plywood, if you can find a dealer. Sign shops use it and if you can convince them you are using it for chickens and not to compete with them, they may sell you some of the big sheets. Otherwise, just Google Coroplast or corrugated plastic and see if you can find a supplier close by. It comes in different thicknesses, too, at a supplier if you want something sturdier.

ETA: Just looked again at Thespoiledchicken's brooder. Looks like your Home Depot carries the 4'x8' sheets. I wish mine did.

It was wonderful meeting you! Those BCM chicks settled down under the EcoGlow in the car and barely made a peep the whole way home.

They are now in the brooder with the 2 SBEL and 2 Wheaten Amer chicks I hatched this weekend from DMRippy's eggs. Sooo cute!

there is a hug! Glad they settled down. The 2 left here were all huddled and hiding until I put your SFH's in with them. They were so happy to have company in their brooder...

They almost acted like they were abandoned.
Probably have to talk with you about a side swap for some of your black orpingtons.......... was hoping to get some from a previous swap to cross back on my lav's but they are no longer available...... so.......... we shall see....

Think I am going to have to look into those EcoGlows... having it in your car was neat!
