Those are all gorgeous birds, everyone! Thank you so much for sharing, I am drooling over all of them!

And a special 'thank you' to you, sJarvis, your offer is really deeply kind, and I will definitely keep it in the forefront of my mind. Your birds are gorgeous, and it would be an honor to work with them! With breeds that require so much work to attain, it would be a crime and an injustice to not do my best to work to standard, and not to show them. The world deserves to see them

This is two of this years cockrells and 1 pullet. one of these two cockrells will leave, I just haven't made my mind up as to which one. They both have faults that the other 2 I set asside do not have. But both would have a fair amount to offer a breeding program for good OE of this color.

the top one has been my choice for a while, both have little things I don't like.
The top one is a bit small at the moment and needs some more time to finish, and has two small black splashes in tail feathers, the bottom one has a fold in his comb, longer leg length, and lower wing carriage. I have been leaning toward keeping the top bird but would like to finish on out before I decide. Either way the keeper is still just a back up for breeding. I would have to loose 3 other males before he was used.
