He would have realised this when he said it Pair 2 you should get greywings- hen looks light grey too, if she isnt then maybe not lol Good luck Link to comment

Sky and Lady So thats it. They are all in breeding cages now as well as the other two (pepper and Kissy) whome I am not breeding as they are the brother and sister pair. One question though about them. would it be okay to use them as a foster pair if the need arose? Well thats that, Kate Link to comment

YAY sunny (rec pied) has been going in and out quite a bit which is pleasing. Lots of greens abnd good yummy seed. fresh water and loving care. one question about the oats in the nestbox... when she kicks them out do I put them back in before she lays the eggs or what? wait... my brother just came and told me there was an egg in one of the nestboxes but it might be in pepper's the one that doesn't have a mate. oooooops!
