La Contessa

Newest addition - La Contessa Amelia Faraglione

Long name for such a small bird.....OK not so small. She's a 2-3 year old Cameo Black Shoulder hen. She's not very "pretty" in the picture but she's more creamy white with some light buff coloration. The plan is to breed her to Benji (purple - who is possibly split to Black Shoulder) and hope for some black shoulder Purples or maybe even a peach.

I originally purchased her as a replacement for Lucia (blue hen) I lost over 4th of July weekend. But I would get more interesting colors next sprint if I mix up my boys and girls a little this spring.

I purchased La Contessa from Troy Anderson in Campbellsville, KY. Here's a link to Troy's listing on the UPA Web site. If you're looking for a special color or some advice......Troy's the guy to talk to....... Thanks Troy. http://www.peafowl.org/breeders.htm#ky

If you're wondering where the names are coming from here's a link.

I'm naming my birds after characters in this British sit com. Very funny if you like British humor....and I do.
