Cool, there was some eggs for sale on E***y and missed them by minutes, 24 eggs for 7 quid, 10 pound P+P just waiting for the supplier to get back to me, to see how much he wants for them.
But i had never heard of them before, so wanted to check as didn't want to get done!!!

I am quiet excited about them, they are apparently very rare, not sure if this is true or not, but they look really nice birds.
