wilkifam Maybe a gloster mix, since she has a especially nice crest, but she isn't purebred. Her mother looked similar but she was more orange, and I don't know if glosters can be red factor. Her breeder said the father was a red factor x Timbrado mix.

Congrats!! \M/ I too am excited to see what this pair produces. Thats a lot of genetics going on. Frilled runs in the line as well? Your canary pictures always make me want canaries. Im smacking myself.

babs I don't think we have any frilled here. But we do have the genes for variegation, crests, and red factor.

Two eggs today.

This guy's picture here. Maggie's brother. That is a frill? Or is it just His feathers shifting off alignment?

Joey wasn't a frill, he was just fluffy.

Well that's disappointing :x . Probably too excited, and simply inexperienced

You might need to do some butt feather trimming, Dylan :-O :-O :-O

I would check for fat spots anyways, overweight is a great cause of infertility among males:
