I helped unpack the crates from an african shipment for a friend.
His wife was ill at the time so I helped out and he gave me first picks out of the crate. The other ones I got look like a pair of genetic granites a really nice black back maybe a yellow belly, what looks like a cinnamon pastel and then this one. I went through hundreds and hundreds of babies unpacking and setting them up in his racks for him. Here is the "God is good to me" part. I only paid $25.00 for each one.
He said he would never have been able to get in the shipment without help from myself and a couple of other guys.I definately have several possible projects for the future to play around with. Also at the time I did not know much about BP traits so I just tried to pick out pretty or different looking ones. I have a female that is probably a yellow belly that I picked out because she was pretty because of the yellow coloration on her sides. I also have a huge female that I got for free from a guy who no longer wanted her because she was too big for his kids. I thought she was not very pretty because she was a greyish drab looking brown color without a hint of yellow on her. Then I went to Daytona and she looks just like all the adult anxanthics I saw there. (sorry to anxanthic fans but she just looked really drab compared to all my other BP's)
If she proves out to be anxanthic you could knock me over with a feather. This will be my first year breeding her and my yellow bellyish looking female. Any hints on breeding or incubating would be really appreciated. I read the BP manual but there is nothing like hints from experienced breeders.
thanks
