The Pepper Baby Chronicles Indiana Winter in the Aviary

[Dottie the Chicken]

So you think mine are both males? The blue one has more of a purple cere and the green one has a lighter cere with lighter patches around its nostrils.

you may be able to see better in person than i can from the pictures but yeah I’m guessing 2 male. I have also noticed that there are very few young females available in pet stores. my female was purchased at a different one from my males and actually has a leg band.

@Dottie the Chicken 2 males up high and female on the branch to the left.....i believe all 3 are pepper babies at approximately 12 weeks

I also have a phone call scheduled for 5pm today with an online pet supplier for birds based in my same county!! He’s interested in learning more about my aviary and possibly trading out for some different species as he also offers coturnix and button quail!!!
