Matt, give me some time to come up with the funds to pay for the quarantining period and we'll talk.

Were you planning on selling her soon?

I want a bird with her type in my flock, the short almost non existent back with that tail angle is what I want to breed towards.

If you're serious Jeremy, I can hold a few back for you next year?

I have been lurking to learn....but if you don't mind I have a photo I took yesterday that I took of my 3 week old Lavendar orps. I thought it was cute and you may like to see it:

We had been eating pieces of noodle/worms and having treats. Decided to do an impromptu photo shoot.

But yes, beautiful. I'm on Marcs list.

this is correct. while Dominant Dilute and Champagne Blonde work to cancel Mahogany, both mahogany and Domiant Dilute were found to be minor Columbain like restrictors working toghether with Co or Db to make a bird devoided of melanin..
