I hate too be a kill joy, but simply because the birds parents win a show, or are show quality, that in no way means all their offspring, or any of their offspring will be show quality. U can't tell a whole lot about a bird at just a few months, just a general idea. U are always better of buying birds that are grown and mature, so u know what u have. I would also recommend to ANYONE that is getting into bantams, ur first purchase should be an ABA Standard. Study, study, study it, and when u decide what variety u want, take it with u when u go to purchase birds, and look then over closely. Then ask the breeder to point out the birds faults, and how to fix them in future generations, what to look for and what to avoid. If the breeder won't do that for u, walk away. A good honest, knowledgeable breeder will know his birds, faults and Strong points and isn't afraid to point them out.
