At least you are in the state and don't have to pay $150 to get a single bird across the border! There are only 3 breeders in Canada but luckily they have won most of the US shows!!!!!!!!! My bird is from the BEST stock here in beautiful Canada. I can't wait till summer so that I can get three hens...they are going to be costing me over $100 each!

They have won most of the US shows? You are going to have to explain that one, as far as I know they hardly even show in the US, they mostly judge shows.

Bob

They show. They mainly show in Cal. Though sorry

LOL! I went to Atwoods to get accustomed to how they are! Figure it's better to test with poor birds than to epic fail with really good ones!

I have a 3 week old modern game that I got from Ideal, I thought she was a black but I noticed today that she has some lighter streaking on the back of her neck. What color is she?

 

[GotGame]

if it is a she....could be a birchen or brown red...

I have a question for you modern game guys....standard calls for a black eye in lemon blues, brown reds and blues....but everyone I have seen has a brown eye...and old english lemon blues, brown reds and blues call for a dark brown eye...any input or information that will be helpful?
