Size 22 for peahens and 24 for peacocks. If you get the aluminum butt end bands, they can come open and fall off if the bird gets a talon inside the band. but you can clamp them by hand. The harder metal bands will have to use a pair of channel-lock pliers to close them.
Pea eggs are far too fragile to ship that far. Even going a few states through the PO is a gamble, I expect that if only 10% survive to hatch that is a win, going through US quarantine which adds even more time is sure to ruin the chances of hatching.
That is not lost on me, years of selective breeding, medicating, feeding, and losses add up, but my point was that they would not sell to me because they wanted to be a sole producer of high-end birds to export for major bucks and didn't want any competition or have these beautiful birds be...
I had to do that here too, it took many years to get to where I am now. The breeders here were sending them overseas and wouldn't share here in the states, probably because they were afraid of competition.
We met Nigel and Suzanne last month at the UPA convention in Oklahoma, beautiful people for sure. They probably don't have any Hybrid Silver Pied but do have Silver Pied I know.
