Absolutely! It's definitely a labor of love! And just because they're rare doesn't mean that you can sell hem. I've learned that with my Nankins (also on the Critical List.) Luckily, I don't really have to sell them unless someone is specifically looking for them. My extra roosters all get along fine in the Bachelor Flock.Only spend effort to do that if he is bird/breed you truly love. Never because you read something. It takes tons of time to breed anything worthwhile and I have discovered it our passion that is key to keeping us content in this hobby. No amount of breeding birds other people like or will buy will make up for the personal payoff of working with birds YOU enjoy!
He's a cutie.
