New turks and last years young

I've just about got my birds sorted for spring.  I've managed to sell the young from last year and swapped one of them for a new yellow opaline cock.



He's the one on the left.  The bird on the right is the young cinnamon yellow opaline hen from last year. They will make a fine pair.  But unfortunately the hen will probably be too young to breed, at least for the first part of this year.  What I may do is pair him with a slightly older hen for now. She's a normal split yellow that I bought last year.

I've also kept the young opaline turk from last year, which I thought was hen and was all ready to sell until I was informed it may well be a cock (time will tell).  I'm glad because I really like this bird.

Again, he will probably be too young to breed straight away this year.
