I want y'all to look at a few of my 16 week old BCMs. I got them at 3 days old (10/15/10) I have really became very fond of them. Although I have raised chickens for many years these are my first BCMs. They are very calm, well mannered and seem to mature quickly. I am even going to replace my cranky RIR roo with one of the two roos I keep. Give me some feed back. I will try to get better pictures later (never knew how hard it was to get pics of individual birds).
Sorry deleted pics while trying to edit this post. i will getsome new one on i new post.

Love that Copper!!!!!!

They are lovely Poularde, just lovely!!!!

Maybe you will get a nice blue copper roo one day and can use him over them.

I'm so excited that they started laying for you! No worries on the egg color or the eggs being colored unevenly, that will come or work itself out.

Hi FOG!!!!!! Welcome!

Yes....it can be very hard to get photos of individual birds. Can you do me a favor (I get easily confused..sorry

), can you tell me how many different roos we are looking at here? 2 or 3?
Is the rooster in the first and second photo the same roo? If so, does he always stand like that? The reason I ask and it just may be the photo and him being on guard, but the photo makes him look like he has a little hunchback going on. Is this the case or is it the way he is standing?

I see some lovely little promising gals in there!

HappyMtn;

I would def. take a pair for that. I live in Newport, TN but still would cost me more gas than they are worth to make the drive. I am very new at raising chickens.....is the only option picking them up? There is someone fairly near me that is getting 6-12$ for one day olds and quoted me 100.00 for 10 one month olds, so your asking price is def. good.

bairo!!!!!

If I lived close to Happy.....she would get tired of seeing me!

Either that or she would have me locked up because her chicks and chickens keep coming up missing.

She has beautiful birds and if you have the chance to get some from her.....I say jump on it! You won't be sorry.
