She's got dark markings, great wings, shoulder, length and feather. He's got the top end, shoulder and feather. Both very nice. Good idea DARYL and he is pale where she is not. Does his paleness indicate that he may be dilute, rather than greywing? Link to comment

We shall see what comes of round two. I guess it's probably not likely that both parents are split for dilute. I don't know how people tell the difference. It's a good thing I don't have to worry about messing up anyone's show stock. I just lump them all in the same category and call them all "greywings". (That wouldn't be good for show breeders, would it?) Link to comment

Yeah if you do it that way you have to be careful with the temperature ... this way you don\'t By the time a hen has a fine mist on her and enters the nestbox the droplets of water would be her own body temperature.

I'll have that whole "sucking poo off budgie eggs" thing stuck in my mind all day now...... As far as the greywings go though, Kaz they are tremendous! And yes a few open breeders breed greywings but not to any great extent and these birds are LOVELY. I always did like that dark green (or is it grey green???) hen. Maybe you could bring her down for me when you visit. I don't breed greywings but then I wouldn't care what she was, she's a beautiful bird. Looking forward to seeing them all grow on.

I think you under rate your own chances. The beauty of the niche market is that you are not competing with everyone, only a small group.
