My dial up internet, will not do movies, but if it came from the Back Woods Home site, it will be good to watch.
If one reads all the how to raise chickens instructions, then one will find we don’t agree.
If game or banty based chicken is grown and there are big thick trees, they will roost in them.
You watch the hens, they go to the same nest over and over and you can mark an egg and leave it or find egg shaped smooth rocks and put in the nest, and gather the eggs daily.
I had a trio and baby chicks of some Silkies in my greenhouse, they roosted in the grape vines that were attached to the ceiling and laid eggs in one corner.
I have plucked them from trees in the Gila river bottom.
We had a single male peacock, the year we slept out in the patio, in the far corner of the patio roof, there was an open 2 foot square, as Bill never did find a piece to fit it and that was the peacocks roosting spot, he choose it, as it was the highest point on the place.
Beautiful site to see in the morning, with the sun coming up behind him.
