    What Do You Want Added To The BYC Forum & Site? Version II

    I apologize if this has already been mentioned, but what about a general "library" section where people can post information on or links to interesting / informative articles they have come across and the good basic books or articles on flock maintenance can be found.

    Many Roos - One Flock - How do you keep roos together?
