My lovely yellow goldens.

I still have them, the males I gave away to a couple of friends that think they were beautiful. I may just enroll them in freezer camp!

I'm sure they are pretty! Isn't that how some of the colour morphs came to be?
25 is a Lot of crossed birds to keep with no breeding prospect though, I can see how they would have to end up in the freezer.

Today i found three eggs, so I know for sure all three girls are laying.

Yeah, they are pretty in their own right but they are not pure! If your a reputable breeder than you don't want any of these birds, because people will always wonder if they are getting pure birds or some mutt.
When I found out he wasn't pure!

Later after coloring out!

That really is a stunning bird! I'd love to have one in my garden as a jewel, but I also completely understand the dilemma as a breeder.

I keep Tarantulas, snakes and tropical fish myself and during the times I have bred and sold specific species it has been very important to keep them pure, or at least be honest about the heritage. For the hobby as well as the care of the animals.
