sounds good to me Linda, look forward to it, Should have close to 100 calls by them here.
No I havent gotten Colby's yet, waiting on this cooler weather for him to ship, shouldnt be long now.
Think I have 3 pair of buff and a pair of true silver silvers (not the snowy looking ones) nailed dont too now.

I'm sorry, had so much going on I have forgotten which pics I was supposed to send you??

oh ok, yep I knew them, I thought I had forgotten something.
Those are part of what Colby is sending me so they arent here yet.
getting 2 trios each of the khaki, chocolate snowies, and blue butterscotch from him.

Aside from what you had for me, all I have here right now are 35 yound birds
self black, black bib, chocolate, choclate bib, 1 magpie, some snowies, whites, blue fawn, a blue bib, mini appleyards, and a couple butters and pastels.

Getting most the others in thsi fall as soon as it cools down, including those buffs, and silvers.

Sure wish October would hurry up and get here.

By then, these in the brooder will be picture ready too, about half are mostly feathered up now, the others are in that begining stage of feathering.

Will load yall up on pics when they all get here and finish growing out.

The yound ones are looking excellent too, Most came from Duck Luck, on here, Gem, and are showing EXCELLENT type, small and stumpy bodies, short fat bills, and those beautiful chipmunk cheeks.

Wont be long

I got some greys that came out with them chipmunk stuffed cheeks and they just don't look that good to me with those little bills and bodies, I will try to get some photo's of them next week and email you them, it may be they just are young and developing, but all I can see when I look at them is those dang puffed stuffed looking cheeks

is the drakes head a really pretty green color?
i just purchased a drake this weekend (with a snowy hen)
and he is said to be a snowy drake. but he looks almost identical to these drakes.

No, the heads are a dark green. I just bought a pair of snowy's this past weekend and I can tell the difference in the green brilliance on the heads, with the snowy drakes head is a lighter brighter green.

I will see if I can get a pic of the 2 for comparison.

Silver Appleyards should have a green head as well a blue/green speculum. I can see eyestreaks in the second one, but I know that they do have green in there heads but this is prompt with blue coloring in calls, they are too dark. I would say you have Blue Butterscotch(appleyard).
