I haven't been regular on the forums for awhile, but some of you may remember my wonderful bronze wing hen Bebe, who passed over a year ago due to a terrible oversight made by me. I will always feel so guilty and mourn her loss, she was perfect and beautiful in so many ways. I still cry about her.
Since then I have adopted a sweet CAG, he plucks and shreds but he is still beautiful to me. He is great and will always have a home with me but I fell in love with a white cap at a local pet store... And my pionus passion was realighted.
So today it is officially a reality; I put a deposit down on a Maxi hen! Her hatch date is July 15 so she will not be coming home til mid October, but I am so excited! It is a local breeder and I thought I would not be getting one til next season as they were all already reserved, but someone's deposit didn't come through and they were being indecisive so I am in! He also has white caps, blue heads, and duskys but I really love the Maxis. Eloy on here has shown me how stunning they are, plus I just plain like them. He doesn't have bronze wings but I think another would just remind me too much of her.
I will post pics as soon as he sends them. YAY!
