Does DF melanistics work the same way as DF Spangles in that all chicks will be melanistics ? Link to comment

I had planned to breed her to her Minka to get some DF Melanistic Spangles. Does this means the gene is getting acceptance in the show area? Edited August 28, 2010 by *Nerwen* Link to comment

I think its still just something some people play around with. If it werent for those people there wouldnt be any in a short space of time. Feel free to PM AmyS about hers as she is still learning and I feel sure you could help her in her understanding about them too Link to comment

The poor bird who lost his name deserves a new one, and I'm sure Macka deserves to have a bird named after him. Then they will both feel special! Link to comment

I put the names in order in the pictures so Minka is on the left and the Newphew is on the right, both are Melanistic spangles, the newphew hasn't lost as much of the markings on the wings as Minka has, but he is 2 years younger. thanks for the suggestion Finnie, but Razzle was Dazzles sisters name (now passed on) His mother is Reepi and Dad is Kazza if any other suggestions come to mind.
