I have 97 birds (freedom rangers), 96 of which are fat and healthy, running around like maniacs in my brooder. They will need more space at the rate they're growing, which is GOOD, because I get another shipment of chicks in the mail in (counting fingers here) 13 or 14 days and will need the brooder again!
And all I can think about is ordering more, more, more... I can add to the next order until the Friday before. Fortunately, the last 2 times I called, they were sold out of what I wanted. Layers will feather out more slowly, so I assume this batch is my last chance for the year until next spring? I'm in Saugerties, NY, kinda cold in the wintertime. Or can I sneak in another batch after this one outgrows the brooder? What about them Canadian chickens?
Is it silly of me to be hoping that Meyer tosses in extras for a surprise? I hear about "packing peanuts" but suspect they only do that for small orders and I've got 39ish in mine. What about extras in case of DOAs?
