Thanks Math- he's been here for @3mths...Still only one tail feather.
Today, I moved him in with a bunch of young pullets not yet in lay- maybe that will make the difference?

No white in the hackles so that's hopeful!!

Oh and no white in the wings- I checked today(phew!)
That must have been a reflection or something.

Hens, yuppers, Carnations in the makings! When I first saw the one on my "Muttley", all I could think was that it looked ingrown at 4 weeks. Like maybe when it started getting larger, it would pop out and up?? HA! It's still getting bigger and uglier! This is an older pic, but you get the idea. As for your "Blue" boy, ahhhh, me thinks blue Copper is more like it.

I have an F2 Olive Egger that has one dose of Ameraucana and 2 doses of Marans that has a comb very similar to that.

Thanks. What a great deal on the Maroons!! I used to raise finches too. I had the Zebras and the Lady Gouldians. I also had some lovebirds. They all went so crazy having so many babies I finally got rid of them all. I really would like to have finches again...at least just a few Zebras. First, I am getting some peacocks though, they are on my 'next' list lol.
Now my breeding coops are done I am starting on a peacock house and run. Right after my tikibar with the Raul bartender that is haha!

SD_paulo Good idea on calling the appliance stores. I will have to try that.

I looked at the ones I tagged and it is still there at a week and a half old. I have a hard time the first few days, but can see it easy at three days.
