Baby Northern Pines that will be at Tinley.

I posted a few pics of my baby Northern Pines on another forum and well, now I have people wanting to pick out their babies before I come to Tinley. So...being a nice guy that I am (just teasing) I went ahead and took pics of all remaining 14 that are here at home. And I'm going to make descriptions of each one. Four of these are staying with me but have posted their pics anyway just to show you what the clutch looked like as a whole minus the two I wholesaled. One baby is in shed, but she isn't what I call high end anyway. I just wanted to make sure I had everyone pictured so she's in here anyway. So here goes!

I will set the price at 75 each except for the female number 14. And I don't know that she'll even go to Tinley...I might just keep her right here! I won't take money ahead of time. This was all done just so that the people that I promised Northern Pines to this year could select their babies ahead of time if they so desired so that they wouldn't all get snatched up at the show before they could get to my table. I don't like doing this cause babies can change at every shed! And what's pretty now can be ugly a year from now! And likewise, what's ugly now can be stunning a year from now when it comes to Northern Pines!

Baby number one is a female out of my second oldest female Northern Pine. This girl will be held back for breeding. So, not for sale, unless someone offers me 500 for her...he he he

And up next is baby number 2, also female, but out of my oldest female Pine, Big Girl. She also is staying here to take her mother's place as I've never kept back any of Big Girl's babies. I fully expect this one to darken up some and increase the red some like her mother is. Though both clutches were by the same father who is very much a high white, so this baby won't likely be as dark as her mother. Again, not for sale! At any price!

Number Three is also out of Big Girl, and I've yet to get this baby to pop for me, so I'm calling it female. But I swear that tail says male! And being that head is so white I question the sex on this one. But anyhow, she'll be for sale at Tinley.

Number 4 is out of the Second female, and is staying here. Isn't he purty? Again, won't be for sale at Tinley.

Number 5
Even before Big Girl's clutch hatched, I told myself, I've got to keep ONE female back from the clutch. So that was easy really, that baby was the first one out, but this guy was the second one out and has wowed me ever since. So now I've decided to keep him. Again, not for sale!

Number 6. This is another boy out of Big Girl. He's going to Tinley this year. So YES! He's available!

**Russell** · 08-05-08, 02:22 PM

Here's number Seven, a female, from the second female. She's up for grabs!

**Russell** · 08-05-08, 02:24 PM

Here's number 8, a male, out of the second female and was marked as a keeper till today... I just don't need to hold back SIX Northern Pine babies...LOL! So I'm letting this one go at Tinley. He looks very much like baby number 4, his full brother.

Here's number 9, a male, also out of the second female.
