not sure which one your are talking of, but I think it may be the andalusian, I have two of those and a black hen and a silver hen....at least that is what the breeder told me and he seems to know his stuff, I think he is a judge too, but if anyone has any opininons on it Iam always up for that!, they are eating and drinking well which makes me not so worried, with those hoods I had worried they could not find the water or feed, I did dip their beaks in so maybe that helped.....so far so good.

I think I know which bird she is talking about as well. I don't think it is an almond, but an andalusian with a lot of bronzing showing up, giving it that patchy look.

yes the one cock does seem to have more "patches" of indigo??? or the bronzing?? I dunno. but the 2nd cock seems to be more of a solid coloring, I really love all of them, I can't pick my favorite color...that black hen is so nice to look at, and that silver makes me want more silver...and of course the andalusians are just so pretty too....like I said can't pick my fav....

just a little update on the jacs, the silver hen layed her second egg today, had the first in a safe spot as she was not sitting and she is so new here and wondering where she is and did not want them to sit anyway, the second egg was laid on the floor of the loft so she is not in the mode anyway, so I put the two under my fig hen and homer cock that just laid also, they have been through a few dummy rounds and sit tight as a drum esp the cock, he wants babies so bad. so if these are fertile perhaps he will get his wish....I will candle them in about 7 days.....keep ya posted!

Are the Jacs as big as a homer? Are you sure the little fig can raise them? They'll be as big as she is when they're about 2 weeks old........LOL

I did think of that. but the breeder told me he used figs as fosters before, two figs at that. they(jacs) are kinda tall but small in stature, the feathers make them look big and long, hard to explain, she is not a real small fig, could be the size of a small homer hen. my small fig cock did feed some frill babies and they (frill babies) are as big as homers, so I really think she can do the job and I know the cock can of course. I wonder what a baby jacobin will look like? and of course I would not push it if I did not think they could do it...I know they would be better than me at it.

Well, Cindy had some pictures of her two babies, but I can't seem to find them now. Maybe she'd show you a couple.

Mine are Capuchines, not Jacobins.

This is the link to Dolly and Dumpling's album.
http://www.pigeons.biz/forums/f24/do...bum-25391.html
Day 10 (post 4) was our first sign that Dolly was beginning to show the Capuchine features.
The chain (I believe that's what they call it) was beginning to develop.

Not sure if the Jacobin baby looks similar to that.

that was great, I spent a half hour just going through those pics. I felt like I read a story book. You have the cleanest aviary I have ever seen, not one poop in any pics the capuchines are becoming my favorites very quickly.

* Thank you. Those babies were born and raised looking at a camera.
I do have a good zoom feature so the camera wasn't literally in their faces.

** I've been told that on several occasions.
But it's a given, my guys poop A LOT. And the aviary isn't always 'poopless'.
But I do try to keep things tidy, especially when I'm taking pictures.
