Posted February 13, 200916 yr I visited a breeder yesterday who was having a major cull and selling over 150 birds, so i spent about 2 hours going though them all and these are the ones i brought home. An opaline Spangle Sky hen - who refused to perch A grey Green Hen A big blue hen who also refused to perch A little grey hen who i think has lovely directional feather and wide mask A YF grey hen who is a wonderful mother and was a mistaken sale. it wasnt until the breeder checked the records that she realised that she was the hen of the chicks who won best bird at the last show. I offered her back, but she said i could still take her as i had already paid. (she needs to rest until july) A grey green spangle cock, who is bigger than ALL my other birds. A Grey Spangle hen who is also a brilliant proven mother who produces really nice chicks. (she needs to rest until july) I think i have completed my breeding stock birds now
February 13, 200916 yr Somthing about this one makes its head look to big for its body, it is amazing. I would love to have birds like that. I love this one, my favourite variety. Well done Liv they are all excellent birds.
February 13, 200916 yr Author thanks pearce. The grey green hen was having a bit of a pose... she looks more like this when she is not showing off hehe And i forgot this baby hen
February 13, 200916 yr You get really good pictures with the showcage, I am going to have to get one.
February 13, 200916 yr Nice birds Liv. They will no doubt produce stunning babies. Look forward to seeing some chicks when they have some. Did you get them locally?
February 13, 200916 yr Author Did you get them locally? They are from a breeder in west lakes, so a bit of a drive, but well worth the trip
