Hi Ashley. Thanks for posting the pics. I was hoping to hear from some of the breeders also. Not sure why they won't respond to you.
In my very un-expert (and unbiased) opinion, they look great. Lacy is gorgeous. I wouldn't give up on Ranger just yet either, he is still young.
Try and get some more pics from a side view of them standing up.
I am just glad that you all got some quality birds to work with. Heck, they must look pretty good because if there was something major wrong someone would have jumped on it like a chicken on a junebug. Good luck with them and please let us know if we can do anything else.
Enjoy Seth!
He says thank you very much!!!
Overall, they are gorgeous birds and show promise from what little I've learned here and in other discussions about breeding Lavenders. We've really been working with them to get them more social and less flighty. I was hoping some of the original breeders from their lineages would comment, too, but maybe they're busy this time of year.
Again, thank you and your wife SO VERY MUCH for this experience, your help, your kindness and generosity. We are beyond thrilled with them.
