Bib Scalloping 2

Here is an rough example of well defined scallop lines that have a white looking edge.

Bib Scalloping

I found this Japanese Bengalese quite interesting.
1) Because the Breast Scalloping is fairly wide and defined and
2) Because the lighter rim is quite white.

Something that is a long term idea of mine is to try and develop Bengalese with a bright white (at least quite light) extremely well defined scallop line. This is something that is not available on the Euro Hybrid because their bib is solid

Dural Aviary

Well, I have finally finished off the security door for the aviary so I have now put birds in, and opened up both sides of the aviary now. I am very happy with some of the stock that I have now and the clock is ticking for when we get into a property next year and properly begin my breeding program. But for now things are going well.
