have never had meat bb's(broilers) and am getting 11 tuesday from meyer hatchery-will have them set up in layer shed in a dog kennel with lamp on them(thermometer also) because am told they smell so bad. wish me luck. hopefully 8 weeks from now we will process them(i am sure i will fall in love with them anyhow but....)son and I will do the processing. will let ya'll know how that goes.
