Great save Karen

I put the youngest chick in the tub on the floor of the breeder cage with its siblings...............NASTY took exception to that and attacked the sister....blood on its head ( not serious ) and it bit NASTY back on the cere. NASTY was doing this in the nestbox too, and thats how she got her name. So I put NASTY in the kindie/holding cage..... NASTY injured sibling Here is an interesting sight..............the grey green cock is one of Omelette's sons by a previous clutch. He was in there recovering from an injury to his eye from some wire catching his eye in the aviary. So big brother ( half brother ) and NASTY sitting together Later in the day I put all the babies in the kindie cage

Flecking is NOT a desirable trait in a show bird.

UNO and parents...

Whoops I would try and get it all off....even if you have to pick it off when it dries.

I have a feeling you will regret the wood shavings Reason ? Flight creating dust in the air and all through the birdroom. Have you thought of using white sand ....the kind for childrens sandpits ?

What colour eyes were the chicks hatched with ?

Recessive pied spangle ? But a parent has to be spangle for that...can dark eyed clears hide things like spangle ? Looks recessive at very least.

Since I used my psychic abilities to work out Evie was going to be a girl before she was born and everyone else said boy.....I was right I have done it again and I say the new baby is going to be a boy

Thanks very much to Heathrow I now have the pedigree details on this hen she is split blue and her parents are both Gary Gazzard birds bred by Clint Ault. SIRE Cinnamon Grey ( Gary Gazzard ) DAM: Cinnamon Sky Blue ( Gary Gazzard ) Thanks also to Clint for providing details on this hen

There is a link in my signature on how to post photos

I go through 100 kilos per month. Time to reduce numbers of birds :rofl:

I think you are right. I think he is an old boy in his retirement :rofl:

:rofl: great to have you here :rofl: Look forward to seeing some of your birds. :rofl:

That is really really good news. :rofl:

Two eggs to Omelette...one chick still in the nestbox with her :rofl:

Not sure about the flecking Dave :rofl:

:rofl: granma already takes her for shopping sprees :rofl:

As a little aside to some other more negative posts and topics I would like to brag some more about my gorgeous granddaughter and also share some great new news. here is the apple of my eye.............Evie New news is.........I am about to become a grandmother again and Evie will have a brother or sister :rofl: :rofl: Life is too short for the crappy stuff :rofl:

The one that comes in a tube....would that be called Lovitts ?

I must say though...if you lived nearby I would help you with a bird or two :rofl:

Wouldnt matter if you were mate......I am not breeding her for a sale bird. She will be part of a future breeding program based on Omelette's line. :rofl:

Too soon Dave. As babies have barring you cannot see future flecking.

yep, that's the one. The cock bird is ancient and the 2 hens are disabled but I separated them out last year BEFORE doing the extensive treatment on my flock to get rid of the pasty bums syndrome. They never exhibited any ill effects but clearly they were carriers. :rofl: What were they CARRYING ? Pasty bums is a symptom, what was the disease ?
