had questioned this myself but im pretty sure hes a boy

im not normally wrong but theirs always a small chance hes a gal

but acts cockish and well i have rarely been wrong

 

its very purpulish around nostrals you cant see very well

i will get a good cere shot tomorrow and see what others think

shall we

here are few younger shots again see what you think remember this is age they tend to waver

if you get sex at young age your normally correct rather than waiting till now on in when its always hard to tell

 

but i sure hes a cock

 

if not i have other nest with cocks so same age some younger

im taming two other birds as well as houmans so hope i got their sex right

i will take pics of the three tomorrow

and we will do a vote

 

tommy boy

 

or tommy gal :hap:

im confident hes a he though but could be wrong i guess

[Houman 0]

:hap: , hopefully his a boy because i dont know what to name him*EMPHASIS ON THE HIM* if he were a girl,but its okay eitherway,

:fear , hopefully his a boy because i dont know what to name him*EMPHASIS ON THE HIM* if he were a girl,but its okay eitherway,

 

 

If he turns out to be a she, you can still call her Tommy, just perhaps change the spelling to Tommi? My niece has a female kitten called Tommi and if anyone asks why a boy's name, they just say it's short for Tomisena.

 

You're certainly going to get a wonderful gift Houman!! I'm sure he/she will bring you heaps of joy and amusement for many years to come!!

[Houman 0]

hmm Tomisena thats the first time i ever heard that name

Then how do you think i feel. ohh and Gb did you say tommy is in your pocket??

[**KAZ** 0]

:rofl:

 

i hope you dont mine him being a visual violet

i thought sky violet but seems to be visual

dom pied but its full wing so it wont have the white flights or the band sorry

but has the spot

 

Spot that small makes him split recessive not dominant pied.

[Houman 0]

... why does everything keep changing lol. first he was a boy now he might be a girl. then he was a sky violet then visual violet then back to sky violet. and now dominant pied now split recessive pied.

That's just how it is Houman until he/she is fully featherd!!...(is feathered a word!!!!!!!)

 

Just think of it as the end result will be a SURPRISE !!!

Can we have some clarification on dad too please. he doesnt even look dominant pied,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, :rofl:

[GenericBlue 0]

dad is dom pied i can garen te

my com gone i have no pics on my sons and i cant download anything to his com

but dad is sky violet dom

i was looking at chick and thinking spot seems to of reduced as hes feathered up

but cant be rec pied

unless its come from way way down line which we do know isnt imposable

 

i will get pics of dad soon as i can get my com back and fixed it caught fire so its pretty stuffed

 

yes in my pocket mate

he / she loves it their

spent two hours today with me

 

but his spot started as big

its reduced as hes grown

he is dom pied

 

spitting image to dad

exept dad has one clear flight covered by other normal flights so cant see t

and hes just got normal wings

 

so i stick to my first enitial varierty

sky violet dom pied full wings

and yes pieds can have full wings

although i have been told many times im wrong

i know im not as i have breed quiet a few full winged pieds i remember trying to talk about it once before but was shut down by other more knolagable members so

wont go their again but their in one the five pied categorizes

 

anyways

lets just enjoy his growing

infact he may be a she also so lets just see what ends up

all i know is its going to be tamed

thats all that was wanted thats whats going to happen :rofl:

Could dad be a heavily marked clearFLIGHT pied?

[GenericBlue 0]

Could dad be a heavily marked clearFLIGHT pied?

 

possable but the only true way to distinguish between a dom and clear flighted is that on the clear flight the cheek patches are always white or violet and white and continental dutch clear flight have may or may not have iris ring in both or some times in one eye

legs are usually flesh pink or grey and flesh pink

and to be honest

so many people breed them thinking their doms or df doms

the clearflight normally has a band around closser to under their mask

as the dom mainily has a middle band

as my boy shows no band or clear flights bar one

and has iris rings in both eyes and violet cheek patches and as hes violet grey legs n feet im sticking to dom

 

we could debate it for ever but its not a worry

their not show breeding birds just my pet stock well dad anyway

so im not bothered for now

i will test breed him later for my own benifit and then when i figgure what he infact is i will let you know

if anyone wants to know

but

other wize

its not importaint

unless i was sellng his chicks to a breeder but im not

but seems to be filling herself up very well

im hand feeding her every half hour to make sure she eats enough seed druing day

and she sleeps all night and awakes and feeds herself

 

shes not flying yet but has no need to everythings giftd on a silver platter lol
