He did have a picture of the breeder male on this home page but I see he has taken it off.

post the pics or pm them to me, yep bet we can tell you what u have.

Ok, finally got some pics uploaded. Another question I have is when we bought the pair the female had no crest. I was told she had one but for some reason she no longer had it. It still hasn't grown back. Will it? It had one little sprout for a while and it is gone too.

Thanks for your help!!

I'll bet the male is picking it off.

I'd bet on the male picking it off too. The only reason my girl has her crest is because she has ATTITUDE.

That's a nice pair of India Blues, Angie! They look like yearlings to me, as the male's train feathers are brown and he doesn't have the scaling on his back that an older bird would have.

Thanks!! Maybe I should get her a little helmet???

I never see him doing that- but he is probably a closet abuser...

She layed no eggs that I could find this summer and I have searched high and low, so I also questioned her age.

I love this site! I feel like I finally have answers to my many, many questions!! This is great!

Thanks again!!
