New Birds April 2012

I bought 9 new birds (5 cocks & 4 hens) from my last club meeting. I am really happy with them. They range in age from this years gold rung to 2008 black rung. Some of the birds have beautiful directional feathering, something that most my birds are lacking. They also have lovely long masks. So I am very excited to pair up and breed these guys, obviously after a quarantine period. This will work out well for my July pairings for the October Unbroken Cap Sheild.

My Favorite, the Cobalt 2012 rung Cock. He can't be older than 7 months so can't wait to see what he looks like in another year.
