Toothlessjaws should have taken the chance with the feathered bird might have been more rewarding. Cordons can very hardy and also very soft it is very hard to get to cope with the stress of moving, have also lost a couple of pairs at my early stages stress, eggbound hen and cold were the contributing factors as all were in tip top condition. Have a new pair for this year finger crossed all looks great at the moment as they are ready to nest but holding off till mid Sept.

i still love red cheeked cordons. and whilst all my birds did eventually die, the events did take place over two and a half years and i did keep birds alive for a time. i never had any "just drop off the perch" so to speak. my "bad luck" could be better described as "mistakes" on my part and hasn't put me off them.

one hen i nursed back many times from egg binding over a winter and should really have just brought her inside for the remainder of it. eventually i lost her after getting home too late one night to check on her.

in other words - i'll definitely be getting some again. but i think right now its best i focus on breeding what i got before i jump into buying more.
