I hope you paid them with some treats for that!

Yes! They had an extra sunflower seed each! I don't really handle mine unless I must. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not but they are happier being left alone!

Same here. I mostly just let them be.

I handle mine alot...They still don't like it. Well unless they come to me that is.

Does that make it acceptable ?

Does that make it acceptable ?

Probably not! But it took their mind of it for a few minutes!!

I would have to say it depends on the treat.

I've got a line on some hens from an experienced breeder recommended to me by the guy who told me my birds were cocks. Only downside is the breeder is in CA and this is going to cost me a fortune in shipping, probably. Also I really don't like getting birds from CA right now what with the Newcastle outbreak, but I guess as long as he's outside the quarantine area it should be safe.

Edit: I just checked, he's up by Sacramento, and all the cases have been in the south of the state, so probably fine.

Exciting! You will be the future source of frillbacks for the northeast.

Well, I hadn't sent a message to the seller yet...and she just messaged me. She is apparently a member in the group I posted my ISO add for frillback hens in and saw it.

She asked if the first ones she sent me were all males since they were 'young' when she sent them (one, Twisty, was older and looked like a male to me as soon as I got him, if you guys remember) and also she said that the silver is a female. No, no he's not, lol. That bird is the most dominant bird I own.

Hmmm, did you post some pics? Let the others on the group chime in and prove her wrong.

(that's mean of me, isn't it?)
