Some Pics Of My Babies

[splat 0]

These 3 are from my yellow DF spangle next are full nest mates to my white DF spangles that did well in the shows. They are showing good protenial but are very light in colour.

From the parents so far all up first nest last year I got 1 cinnamon sky Spangle hen which is stunning, 1 white DF spangle hen, second nest 3 white DF spangle 2 cocks and one hen which MB bought the hen. So far this year they have 1 Lt green spangle cock, 1 white DF spangle and 1 sky blue spangle cock. their last nest which was fostered out there are these 3 yellow DF spangles.

These 2 birds have done me good as out of all the babies I have only culled 1 bird.

 

This cobalt opaline hen is out of a light green pied and a cobalt. Thay had 3 babies this one and a DK green pied the 3rd one died a 2 weeks.

 

These 3 Yellow DF Spangles are out of yellow Df spangle and a DK green spangle Uncle/niece mating they seem to have green suffusion . Worst tha the ones above. But they are better colour than the one above. The mother has been plucking thier down, they are fostered now.

 

These 3 are from my old boy and violet nest. there are 4 all up one is in a nother nest

There is a violet in there and a cinnamon violet

 

This nest there is only one from the parents and it looks to be grey green. the others are fostered.

The father of this one is my big grey green that up till now I thought he was useless, he would think by putting his foot on the hen was the job done so at least this year he has done a little more than that he is an 07 bred bird

 

This is the old boy my foundation cock, he is father to my violets and this grey green

This is him as a baby

 

This nest is white Df spangle hen full sister to my white ones this is a half brother/ half sister and they only had 1 fertile egg and it is a white DF spangle the others are fostered

this nest is my A Rowe cock and and a watson hen there are 5 left out of seven. there is only the 3 youngest in the nest now as I fostered the oldest out. The 1st nest of these guys I got 3 and they were lt green and Dk green and they are looking really good.

 

This nest is from one of my violet cocks that I bred last year and he is with his niece a white DF spangle they only had 2 babies One violet spangle looking really nice and a coblat spangle. the others are fostered.

 

I hope you like. My breeding season up till now has been terriable clear egg after clear egg.

I will take some photos in a couple of days to see how they gave changed these pics were take about 10 days ago

Superb babies!! I especially like the opaline cobalt. Can't wait to see a photo once it moults out, that feather is fantastic.

Superb babies!! I especially like the opaline cobalt. Can't wait to see a photo once it moults out, that feather is fantastic.

I think she will be heavily flecked on the cap Hamish but she should still be a good hen hopefully
