The Sebastopols on the other hand are an ornamental, so you have to judge and select traits appropriate for creating eye candy and show able birds.

but that allows people like me without the room to raise that many to still have very pretty birds

Very true Sue, as long as they like you understand they are pretty pets and not always worth pairing to breed.

Here are the latest to hatch. Started Tuesday night and ended early this morning. 4 buff pomeranians from Brandon or Kawonu on here. 4 eggs sent, 4 eggs hatched.

I have 3 more eggs left this year to hatch, should be Monday or Tuesday.

Here is something completely unexpected from my first hatch. A tufted buff pomeranian. The eggs came from 1mrsmagoo and the parents are not tufted nor are any of the babies that she hatched out.
