Enjoy:

The mother of these two were bought from Petsmart a few months back. Both are not fully fledged yet so we'll have to see how they'll look like once molted and fully feathered.

This one is a double crested

crested Ino

both together

Wow - I love 'em both! And the white one especially! Which parent was crested?

Thanks

The mother is a pied chocolate with a crest on top and frills on chest, father was a regular Ino split self chocolate.

Noob - those are awsome chicks. Do you have pic of the parents? Your birds are the first societies have seen with crests. You have a gem there!!

Wow! You're holding them!! What sweet little guys.

I'd like to see pics of the parents as well

Thanks

These guys barely left the nest so they're still tame. Pix of the parents would not be as nice as they'll be flying over all the cage

Pix of parents to come later or tomorrow.

Great pics. You would have thought the white female was the mom.

HillJack: When we had chickens we had some Polish Crested and they really had the mop-tops all the way down over their eyes. I don't know how they managed to see where they were going!
