Sorry Dev as far as the eyesign goes I don’t like it. The circle of colouration and iris are very good. There is plenty of graining in the circle of colouration and the iris is nice and open with plenty of room. What I don’t like is the inner circle. It has completely blown and is almost nonexistent. I think it would be very hard to breed anything worthwhile from it. I maybe wrong.

As with Andy I'm not over keen on the eye of the first one but she is a cracking looking bird otherwise, the feathering isn't quite so pristine on the second bird but another lovely looking bird with a much better eye. As you say Dev with the current prices that birds are going for these days they are both a real bargain for anyone starting up or looking to introduce a different line into their team.

there are some really good bargains going on, if i was to start again in the sport. I know i could get a very good breeding team. On a very low budget. there are some really nice 50 Euro birds out there.

That one is a beaut Dev, I really like that one. As you say considering the prices fanciers pay these days they are cheap, as you say ideal for a new starter.
