Unfortunately not many pure normals around thanks to some genius deliberately crossing with bengalese. Popping out with pied, cinnamon, crested, etc & with bengo habits, crowing, etc. Totally stuffed another scarce & unique species.

Hi Jay, they would have been Chris Leeper's I dare say, and I can confirm they are the real thing!

edit: never mind, I heard who you visited and yes they are most likely duds
