Refer her to Harvey and politely decline. People come out of the wood work when someone has good stock. Im all for helping someone get a good start if they are serious but I dont like chicken peddlers.

It looks like it would do the trick. If you end up not liking the saw you can get those cheap on woods enterprise. I was actually thinking about investing in a dremel tool one of these days. The dremel heats up and would help cauterize the bleeding vessels of the spur.

I have a new dremel but not a holder.

Hi there, I have two BCM cockerels that are about 20 weeks give or take. They’re from different lines so I wanted to ask for some input on which one looks better at the moment.

Obviously it’s early to decide who to keep because they aren’t six months yet, but I’m wondering if there are some glaring issues that I didn’t notice.

I personally prefer cockerel 2, but that’s just my opinion, not really based on any solid SOP reasons.

Here is what the cream/crele colored cockerels look like. This is the one I think Im keeping. The other is nearly the same, just less macho for now. They are both split to white.

The white/crele blood I have infused into the creams have darkened up their barring beautifully. The creams looked very washed out.

I have one Cream legbar cock bird, 2 cream/crele colored cockerels, and 2 white legbar cockerels free ranging right now. I will need to cull those down. I could part with a white and/or a cream/crele cockerel if you wanted to make the trip. The whites are recessive so when mated to a cream they throw cream/crele.

I do like road trips. We are camping this weekend but could meet up in the next couple weeks. How far are you from Knoxville?
