Miniatures

Thanks for putting this together!
I have never heard of a Miniature Overberg, out of curiosity, do you have a picture by chance?

@Repticake the Miniature Indian Runner is a current project that a few breeders are working on in the US. They aren’t recognised but they are definitely around.

That sounds really fun, I got into runners last year and was thinking of getting Bali instead but MIR sounds like a fun project.

That actually sounds like a fun project to watch.

Do you know of any miniature Indian runner breeders? I couldn’t seem to find any when I was searching.

I have acquired 8 breeding pairs of Miniature Silver Appleyards. I am located in Eagle Point Oregon. Looking for information about who all in the United States breeds these birds? I can only find one that comes up. Any help is appreciated
