    Egg Layers, Meat Chickens, and Making New Chicks

    My ultimate goal is to have egg layers in a coop, meat chickens in another coop, and a third coop for making new chicks so that we never have to buy anymore, we're replenishing them the natural way. If I bought a bunch of White Leghorns, with a Rooster (for the egg laying coop for order) and a...
