| I don't think they like the cold though and they're so small the wind might blow them away if free ranging. |

| I dont think we'd free range such a small bird, more a decent sized pen with a bad weather covered in scratching area. |

Gorgeous . Their little heads look exactly like sebrights don't you think? Will be interesting to see what they look like in a few months time. Was this an experiment?
