I have not kept up with putting up pictures of our litters, but here is the latest! Myrtle had 12 feisty pups. So feisty, in fact, that they were hard to keep track of when I took the top off! They would climb up both sides of the cage and try to escape. Multiple times Myrtle (perfectly tame, but with an incredible sense of adventure, apparently!) took off like a shot while I was busy getting baby after baby into the cage so I could secure the lid. Phew. What a tiring bunch. If you don't believe me... here they are in action!

Hilarious. I just love them.
And here is a picture of the whole litter minus one:

As you can see, it was an entire litter of doves. I was test breeding to see if Myrtle carried cream. Pepito does, so if she does, some of the babies should be cream, but they all turned out to be doves. NICE.
Myrtle is a SH satin dove, and Pepito is a SH silver dove carrying cream. Every baby is a dove.
The nice thing about this color is it is easy to tell EE pups from Ee pups.
That little LH EE dove just above Mama is my keeper.
