TYPE people is what we should be going for color will fallow but work on correct type frist . if you have the type down then you can move on to color . as long as we all breed birds that are promoteing and helping the breed type and working towards the same" standerd" then we are moveing in the right direction . but like others have said only breed your best stock ! that way we are all moveing forward . at the present time i am working on getting the best type in my birds as i can this might take months or it might take years but sooner or later i will have some of the best birds in nor cal ! it sure is a fun !
