Just a general observation but I have seen a lot of really nice BCM on this thread. I think the quality of birds has improved greatly.

never keep one boy if you want to breed for any standard . you don t know what the future hide .

nice to have a reserve or 2 to be on the safe side .

Hi Chickengr my handy man is Italian
today from 9 am tell 3.30 pm he did manage to put 4 sheet of play wood and managed to cut 1 sheet in half.
I took photos of what he done today . no much at all .
I find it very amusing .I m going to keep him . he make me laugh .
today he had a working orange shirt and on it was a logo saying ( Rooster traffic control ) he was proud showing me the logo and telling me he is in charge today of the roosters , he is a boss .
I told him when you finish the work in the nursery you can start constructing my breeding pens for the next year 2017 breeding season . a lot of time
he lives in different planet the poor guy .

very funny I don t need to go to the comedy show !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I forgot to mention italian, lol. south europe, anyway. he alone did much more work than 2 I had (a philosopher and his follower). be careful if you hire him to make coops for 2017, you might miss tihe season
