Where are the hens?

I have raised six Jos Thone' young birds in the last year. They are off the very best Thone' pigeons.
The red boys were raised from eggs fostered under old Gordon.
The grizzle and his brother were raised from eggs fostered under the Melbourne hen.
The slate blue and his white flight brother came from a mate's place, out of the nest.
Anyone notice anything?
Yep, they are all cock birds. Every one of them. You could not arrange that if you wanted too.
Now, some hens.....
