    Coop Pics

    I'm sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I purchased the rollout nests from Meyer Hatchery in Polk, OH. They had the best price I could find although they are not cheap.

    jmofaustin what type of software did you use to make your label. I think your idea is super and would like to do the same. Maybe you could start designing labels for other chicken lovers as a sideline. Just an idea. The eggman

    Why are our eggs better than store bought?

    Why not add one additional line to your label saying they just taste better.... Just a thought.
