This is my first try at breeding "Harlequins". I'm using the sky normal cock to get the size into them. Cool, well if your focus is Recessive Pieds then this is the way to go! Remember that the chicks will be split for Rec Pieds/Harlequins and you'll need to breed 2 split Rec Pieds together to get the improvement. If you do not have another Rec Pied budgie to breed more splits to breed back to the chicks from this pair, I would recommend you let this pair do one round together and then split them up and introduce the hen to another cock bird.

Yes thanks for that. My cock bird is already split. A very generous friend that i work with has given me all of my birds to get up and running. He already had a pair ready to go for me to save me a year. He also gave me another rec pied hen that was breed this year that I can use next year. Link to comment
