What ages are they? You'll see a huge difference in your English birds from Jeremy at about 8 months old.

Hi Harry - Good to see you !! Thank you so much for the compliments. I think they are gorgeous too, though I might be a tad prejudiced

Winston's tail still looks a bit raggedy, he is finally finishing up a hard molt and isn't quite back to his Royal self yet.

Hi Roger - Your boy there looks a LOT like Winston. Can't wait to see him when he is all grown up. Finally fertile eggs???

They Royal couple looks absolutely stunning Joy.

They both look so ROUND!

Goldie has matured beautifully, too.

Roger, your boy does look a lot like Winston, he's handsome!

Karen, like OSUman and Joy both mentioned, there are quite a few differences that set these birds apart from their American cousins. The one thing that differentiates them the most to me is their sheer size. Your birds will get MASSIVE, it will take them awhile to fully mature but once they're grown they will be beautiful.

I was talking with Joy about this earlier and I think these birds get even prettier with age, my girls just finished up their first molt and they look bigger and prettier, with crisper more defined lacing than they did before.

Your pair will be 5 months old on January 22nd, they're the same age as the group I have growing out at home.
