I worry about the fact that she carries her tail more like a Japanese Bantam than a D'Anver, and she has next to nothing for a beard at this time. But she's one of the smallest and for now I keep her around. I actually plan to avoid hatching any eggs out of her this next year. But that's...
oh don't feel bad! she was a very pretty little bird! My six year old was beside me and was like, oh dad, let's get some like that. I just smiled and said, oh we'll see...he he he.
