    They are English ones. We don't go for all the big bubble head hair styles. Ours are little and understated. You can't see from that angle properly. Beside the point anyway. It was the colour I am interested in.

    Quote: I am really glad I posted the pic of the 2 on my shoulder. Without all of the help, advice and support on here a lot more would die. None of my birds are sold, just the eggs for hatching.

    I am treating 200 birds. The youngest 3 weeks old (the ones in the picture and more) and the oldest 7 or 8 years old so the water is made up daily. It has cost me a small fortune so far. I have some a week old, is this dose ok for them too?

    In England we put in our ebay adverts that we do not guarantee the eggs will hatch due to the postal system and the way people incubate them but if they send the eggs back at 10 days we will issue a refund. Often it is dearer for them to return them or they will only get a few pounds balance...

    What colour is my Roo please? Is he classed as a Buff or Partridge? His chicks are chipmunk if that helps. I know he has too much tail fluff but he is sweet to his girls and me.

    I think food dye would be fun. They do it to poodles and it does them no harm. Either that or paint their toenails a different colour lol! I signed the Dallas petition. I am in England. Wonderful sites like this spread the word wide.
