Too many too soon???how many chicks are enough??

We have a ton of space, I've actually sectioned off half the brooder for now - in total it's 4'x4' - and we've got a rather large chicken yard already fenced and ready to go. Glad he decided to do this before we built the coop - that's definitely going to change the dimensions a bit.

That sounds great! Best of luck to you!

my start out was 15 BR pullets .. i think my meal maker is a roo tho... almost positive on that .. well see ...now i wanna add Ducks! and my chicks are only 11 days old hahahaha bring it on! more the merrier. next year this time ill prolly have a full barnyard at this rate . room and ability arent a problem . my willpower against having noahs ark is...... live in the country .. must have animals! hahahaha

Reading all of your posts is getting me so antsy. My order of 100 chicks won't arrive until the end of May (too cold here until then). Can't wait!!!
