well today rina and i went on an epic trek to mundijong, not so far for some of you but a wee way from toodyay lol where i picked up a pair of new red anconas, which are not that common, and are only found in australia. i think i like the male better than the female, i don't know how they change colour wise as they mature, so if anyone knows i would be very glad of your input. here are teh two of them in their crate the pullet headless pullet showing line down her wing female hackles wing of pullet male he is not looking the best, he is not happy about being on the washing machine his wing they are about 6 months old, he still needs to grow in his tail. constructive feedback appreciated.

I can't really give constructive feedback, all I can say is:wow, they look incredible! Are they very flighty?

well they haven't been yet, they are similar in personality to my other anconas, the boy seems more quiet than the girl, he not so bad to handle. they don't protest too much when being handled nor do they wriggle around, they just sit there.
