I would say that at least one is a paint you can see in his tail..could the coloring be what they call Dunn? khaki? please don't yell at me for saying...I am just guessing...looks like brown? chocolate? leakage....just guessing...but I think they look great...very pretty...

Quote: Yes, they are champagne paints. Heavy dose of the off coloured hackles. I have several. Notice the spots? I have gotten regular paints from mine. They are not dun. Dun plus paint = dun spots, not dun background colouring. Here is a dun paint:



Yes; she was a cross to test the genetics and how dun mixes with the champagne paints. Unfortunately a horse stepped on her before I could do second generation test breeding with her

So for all the shampoo junkies on here (you know who you are

), has anyone ever tried using dog conditioner on their birds after shampooing?

I have, I use a conditioner for whitening. I leave it on for 5 minutes, and rinse. I use it on my white only though.

Is it really a conditioner? I haven't seen a whitening conditioner before? I have a few conditioners I can get or have I would like to try.

2 more boys learned to crow today That makes 4 out of 7 boys

Neighbors have no idea what's coming. I'm going to sell 3 of them in the fall. Oh- one boy crowing is a LF with a loud voice. There is a rooster crowing miles away, and they are all answering him. Also, had an opposum on the porch, eating catfood. I had to step over it, it didn't care. I touched his tail and he finally ran away.
