I'm happy; just got off the phone to a gent; who lives close by; has 9 RIR hens he wants to rehome; so some of the boys I'm adding maybe slated to contribute to filling free freezer space; but I will definitely be keeping the young Buff's as i like them alot......
I've located the older coop pics; the ones I've built in years past; I'll see about getting them into a folder; then uploading them...

I know the Cuckoo's can be tough customer's from previously having them in my flock....
