I just wanted to first thank Tony for my 10 Ruby's that I got from him,Budd Gilbert for the Ruby's that he gave me, and also thank Thom for all his helpful advice.For the last 3 days my Ruby's have been outstanding.They kit very tight,good height,they are doing very frequent breaks,with spins from 5' to 20'.They are still young but I am so proud of their performance at this stage of the game.Thank you Tony for all the work that you have put into developeing this great strain of rollers.

I also have a Ruby update, I have 3 hens and a cock witch I got from Tony in the early spring and Polygamous bread them now I have 12 young that are within 3 weeks of age to one another and are trap trained and starting to fly there circles, they are very calm when the kit door is opened.I can tell that they are going to be very easy to manage,they sit on my head and shoulders when they are fed.
