Does anyone know if it's possible to find birds of Richard Schock's line? I really love his emphasis on feather along with type in the photos I've seen, but no idea how to find out if he's still breeding.

Also, I'm looking for a few good dun, khaki, or platinum sumatras (that aren't from the guy on ebay). Can't find any for the life of me.

Trying to get a good variety of birds for my seed stock, and I'm discovering that with sumatras, it's not very easy at all to find them, and even harder to find GOOD ones.

It's in Ocala at Nava's place. They are going to try and have games for the kids and stuff - should be fun. Here's the thread:

My Platinum Sumatra chick, I'm pretty sure she's a pullet, I need a name for her...

An updated picture of my Platinum baby, I'm not so sure if she's a she anymore...

if it was a boy, I bet he'll be worth a lot of money. He's gonna make a good stud.

I've been told this before.

If he is a boy he will have to be rehomed. Any idea what I should ask for him, or should I just put him on BidBird when the time comes and let the auctionees decide?
