I HATE being asked to work out details from postage stamp sized pictures :hug:

Do you mean she is GOLD ring ? If so GOLD is 2006 making her only three this year.

You DO KNOW you are allowed to post pictures 640 by 480 dont you ?? :hug:

kaz is it possable that the chicks are cinnamon grey wing spangles and the others are just grey wing ????cinnamons Dunno Mate..........here's some photos....maybe someone can tell from these. Spangle tail

They are all different mate..........you just have to know your birds inside out and do what works for you. Omelette spends less time in the nest once their feathers show up so she is less inclined to tamper with her babies. She steps back and lets the dads do most of the feeding from around 2 weeks of age and when they are feathering up. BUT she has never touched them once they started getting pin feathers....just nibbles off their down.

Isnt the rule about buying show type birds to buy the lesser brothers and sisters of the buff showy looking birds as they carry the same genes ? These birds I have bred show that theory works.

The hen does look that ordinary...but she carries Cec Gearing bloodlines.

Sexes ? Name meaning LONG HAIR are........... Caesar http://www.andythenamebender.com/name-meanings/Caesar.htm Samson.......as in Samson and Delilah Cirrus Hestia Paige Quilla....girls name meaning feather Here are some more "hair" type names http://www.20000-names.com/hair_names_hairless_names.htm http://www.thinkbabynames.com/search/0/hair

One thing about Omelette......she is PREDICTABLE

Three youngest do not have spangle tailpins.The tail pin feathers are darker, not clear as you would expect for spangles.

Your new kitchen is great Deb You must be real happy with that. Enthusiastic to cook up some great meals in there. Love the pik with your puppy. I have so missed you on here. I have had a feeling you have been gathering some inner strength of late. With knowledge and wisdom comes strength and will see you overcome any trials with Jaydens school issues. Biggest hugs Deb

Since you are on holidays I guess more photos will be coming ? ..........tomorrow

How are they doing ? Have they got names ? Hewey Dewey and Louie ?

Quarantine is 30 days. After that they can go in the aviary but youy must make sure there is nowhere in there they can use as a nestbox.

Yes......if you read back through you will find Omelette plucks the down feathers off her chicks. She always stops when their pin feathers come in.

They sure are

3 plus one in the foster nest = 4

Wish I had an answer for you But it sound plain weird to me

Thankyou Shannon

Wish mine was

It isnt all about visual as long as you know the backgrounds. What do you think of this pairing ? Pretty ordinary right ? Produced this chick and I think he is doing okay for barely 6 months old. This baby was bought at an auction at 8-12 weeks old. I was told by the breeder to specifically buy it for what the breeder knew to be excellent bloodlines. Noone else recognised its potential and I bought it for $20 ! She is the mother to this one so its not all about VISUAL stuff.

WOW !! Its all go Dave......looking good :sadsorry:

Its the Mac Laughlan bloodline......theres some huge blue birds coming from their stud.
