I disagree that its too soon.....note the darker feather markings also that absolutely show the chick will be opaline

looks no different to any df dom pied i ever had Paul Heres two of mine I once had Atlas Max you will often find a df dom pied also can have an iris ring in one eye and none in the other. They also often have two colours on the cere in males...both pink and blue. Heres another members DF dom pied and another and showing the iris ring in one eye and not in the other

Littlest one had only just hatched

Third baby ( plucked one ) is skyblue spangle

Five chicks now

Lone father is still feeding the babies in the nestbox. Even the plucked youngster is looking better and its feathers are now growing. eldest second ( grey spangle ) and the plucked baby and foster baby

they wont be disowned.............. read this http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/faqs/i...&artlang=en

Dinnertime.....................

dont waste the vet visit.........no matter what happens ......ask to be shown how to crop feed. Buy a 14 guage crop needle and syringue good luck.

awful lot of white on that cere for a male Rachel whats it like in real life without the flash ? If there is white on the cere you may have to call Ned Kelly........ Nelly Kelly

Two boys only left to find new homes when they are ready......all others will have new families

Sweetheart.............the very first chance you get............................get someone who knows how to show you how to CROP FEED. Many a crop feed has saved the life of a bird that wont take enough food by beak. Make it your number one priority to learn this skill....even if you pester your vet to show you how.

No it isnt blue its grey

Very cute

Number 5 is a DF dom pied not recessive...... and proof is in this photo as well .....see iris rings I didnt need to see the iris rings ...the fact it was DF dom is obvious.

five is DF dom pied

Slowing down hey? maybe the time in the flights was the worst thing that could happen to her. She only wants half a clutch now so she can go back to the flights sooner -

I agree with you brumbyracer

She has stopped at six

Eldest chick is showing as dom pied so far. Another chick hatched and is way smaller than the others. Four chicks in the nest.

He may have some pied inheritance causing the lack of iris rings. I have a dom pied with same issue.

quarantine in a cage next to the other is NO QUARANTINE AT ALL.seperate cage........seperate room at least 5 metres away....minimum 30 days Males dont sort anyone out................does your friend have nestboxes in this aviary ? and if so are there underaged budgies in there ? I really dont think the solution for Elly was a good one.

This is one of those things that will only prove itself with breeding. What do you know of his parents ?
