Hi all,

... 6 x 16wk Skylines (tufted heads, blue egg layers)
4 Rhode ranger (black tail red)
6 x silver / amber ranger

Unfortunately, too much fo this sort of thing goes on and rarely does anyone get caught.

But I hope maybe some of these birds are found.  Keep an eye on the Colchester Auctions!
