I told you that trap will catch anything, including your birds. It is a great trap. Lets wait for night fall to get the owl out and take it somewhere else to let it go. I have debated building a larger trap for hogs,or what ever it can catch, everything seems to be noctournal here and do not want to come play with me during the daylight hours, I think a trap would be appropriate.

LOL Lynn agrees to letting the thing go at night. This thing is huge, well its the only owl ive ever seen this close.

You need to take it at least 10 miles away (Lynn's place in tribbey would be better) or it will be right back. the good and bad part is that the owls are very intelegent and you will not likely catch that bird again.

I still have not hatched any with a crest. I have hatched about 6 with light feathering on the shanks. I hope I get some crested ones.

I dont have a problem with the owl being here, our birds are put up at night so it is no threat here.

About the cochins, will have to get back to you on that I am over run right now and need to build more coops.

Donnie, kathymo and anyone else.
I know they aren't the same thing at all but what colors might come from crossing a Lavender/ self blue type bird with a blue/black/splash/ variety?

How was the lavender gene introduced into standards?
