I am hoping they have some good qualities for breeding. Please let me know what you think my only hen (she got bitten in transport) They are in their quarantine cage Link to comment

They have nice masks and spots and their shoulders look not bad either. Would be better to see them in the show cage to see the length of the birds also. Where did you purchase these birds from?

I bought them from a breeder in Campbelltown. I tried to pick ones I thought were okay because all I have been doing is reading up on types, this was my first time to see show birds up close. He didn't have many left and the best ones were sold. Link to comment

Good luck with them, hope they turn out some great chicks for you. Link to comment

I hope all is well with your beautiful birds. Link to comment

Mine are going great (only pet type) but seems like I've bred nearly all Cock birds !! Just when I wanted a few more hens. I have some new chicks hatching in 2nd round. Wasn't going to go another round as it seemed to be getting too cold but they have been fine. So far. Link to comment
