Have just had 5 out of 5 eggs hatch this week, oldest chick is 10 days old, youngest approx 2 days. The dad is a Green Dom pied the female is a normal green-maybe Dom pied(due to a small head spot, her parentage is unknown so haven't totally confirmed it) bubs are going really well the female is a very devoted mother, father is getting dirtier by the day with feeding them all the time!! Parents Two oldest bubs Looking forward to see what markings they will have in the next few weeks Link to comment

To be honest I was expecting more prominent markings but they are exremely cute anyway.

Your babies are about 4 days before mine!!! Baby 2 is different becuase the others are ooaline...and he is NOT. You can clearly see the faded face on baby 1, that suits opaline...then also the wings, you can see the opaline coming in on baby 1, but normal green on baby 2... Best of luck Mate!

Still waiting for pied markings to show up.......... Link to comment
