I have heard that too. I would try 40-50 but:

why do you want 1000 noisy crickets. (sorry, I HATE crickets).

I do buy them, freeze them, break the legs off, and feed them to my fish. They are only around here long enough to freeze.

I lol'd. I would think you'd be producing quite alot of crickets with that many breeders, what are you feeding them to?
 
i hope you have an outside room for them! they'll drive you crazy as they escape and seemingly live forever in the house. but yeah they are really good at breeding. egg cartons and cricket food, WAHLA!
 
I used to work at a cricket farm... If you have any questions feel free to PM me
