Hi Dean That's one of the problems with the penguins, you can quite easily put the size into the penguins but the difficulty is keeping the colour as they should be and keeping them clean with no chest markings on the cock birds. Good luck with them. I see you are also after crested bengalese - there is a pet shop by me how has some for sale think they are £10ea, i can find the phone number out if you want it Ben

yes Ben that would be the problem. mine are nice and clean. there not a bad size so may just leave well alone.

what area are you from Ben.

I've got a crested pair but they never have any crested young.

Yep Col is my brother.

He actually got me back into birds after a long spell away from it.

The penguins are great, cracking birds.

Hi all,

            I started back with penguin zebras early last year. I find it hard to pick up odd birds, so had to pick up the odd normal and fawn cocks  to make up pairs.

I started with zebras in 1972 and I obtained my stock from June & Norman cox, and Courtney Hocking.

     I was secretary off the Yorkshire & Allied Counties Z.F.S. and a panel judge for many years, but work forced me to to part with my birds.

  I hope to breed my penguins to a high standard but I don`t think i will show them again.
