    Greggys Chicken Coop

    I decided to build my coop to hold up to 15 or so heavy layers, so 8 X 12 is what I ended up building.

    Welp Hatchery

    I think the it's in Iowa, which isn't too aufully far from Michigan. Meyer is somehwere in Ohio, so I'm not worried about distance. Does Welp Guarentee live delivery?

    Please explain the bantum thing

    I used to keep a couple cochins just to set on eggs...They would set on 8 to 10 regular chicken eggs and faithfully hatch them out. Other than that I can't think of a reason to keep one.
