Quote: I just have the lavenders and quails. I figure I'll work on them until I have some nice ones from my breeding birds and then I might branch out. Laura Lee, those babies are adorable!

Thanks Aubrey, I really appreciate your comments on him. The judges have to go on condition on the day and I figured they would ding him on missing feathers. I really like the little beast. He's such a nice little guy - no toerag here. There was an absolutely stunning quail cock that won...

Quote: Thanks! Congrats on your babies. Yes, chicks on Easter. Can't get any better than that. I like Dutch bantams, they're pretty little guys.
