They are looking good Renee, I have a 3 week baby that was doing good and yesterday I noticed it had a leg problem, seems to ne laying on its belly with one leg behind and when I picked her up that leg just stayed there like she can't move it weird.

Wow Kaz you need to go back and try and get a picture, or chuck ya camera in ya car just in case as that is so interesting. We saw an albino magpie a few weeks ago, pure white

When was the 1st egg due to hatch

If they are only that young I wouldn't worry about her some of my hens come out and make all the noise in the world for some attention

Very informative Chrysocome and thanks Dean for the link :fingerscrossed:

WOW it's looking great Kaz and huge, I wish my setup was like that :fingerscrossed: Lucky find for the brackets, looks like you have almost finished not long now I hope

They are lovely Kaz, doing well this year, Uh to rup salt in the wound I have bred 3 pieds this year and I think they are keepers. Being trying to breed pieds for 3 years now and they have all been crappy, BUT this year they are looking much better I have a dark green pird, a Lt green pied and a sky blue pied all fro the same parents. 1 on the 1st nest and 2 in the second nest The oldest one Dark Green Pied Lt green pied from the next nest Sky blue pied

WOW Kaz they are stunners good luck with them

Anne Marie and

I had a hen that laid every 3rd day. and this year one of my hens laid 2 eggs on time then waited 6 days to lay the next one and the next one was 2 days after that but the last 2 turned out clear.

Dave's right she is probably getting ready to breed again, if the babies are old enough put them on the floor with a small box or something for them to huddle into.

That's great can't wait to see the photos

He seems to be doing okay, he is perky as ever so I guess he will make it

Thanks Anne, yes he came 3 rd at the victorian young bird shield and was selected on the National team to go to tassie but he didn't go. I have taken him to two shows and both shows he has won best young bird in beginners and his sister the sky cinnamon spangle won best opposite sex to him.

Thanks GB the markings are improving all the time, need to focus on the bulls eye spots now

Thanks Anne and Kaz Kaz my spangle markings are much better this year than previous years and I am really pleased with that.

Thenks Nubbly I will work on the suffusion next year, I actually tried to to the Yellow Df with the suffusion (father of the nice birds I am getting now with a grey hen but she laid 4 eggs then attacked him so I took him out as I do not want to loose him, the eggs were clear.The light green spangle with a bit of yellow in his body must be random, that's not good is it for showing as his body is not solid. Thanks Kate but she is a keeper, even though she has suffusion she also has type and feather she will be used to improve my spangles and I am going to try DF spangle to DF spangle next year.

Yep sitting up on the perch but his upper beak is a bit loose from whrere she tore it, I hope it mends on its own. Last year a hen ropped in to a lovely cobalt pied her daughter and ripped the beak off it was hanging by a thread. Greg had to put her to sleep no beak no food. But this little guy seems to be okay, the beak is attached but ripped one end nut it looks like it will heal.

Very nice Shannon they are looking good

Macka the white is 5 weeks old next Thursday and the sky is is 2 days younger so he is 4 weeks today, The white one came out of the nest yesterday for the first time and there is a hidy box on the floor but that didn't save him. They are not feeding themselves probably yet and the hen is on her own. Before dark I checked on him and he was sitting up on the perch so I hope that is a good sign. Hoping he doesn't die from shock.

A member from my club showed it was less scary once I was shown probably.

When out for lunch todat and came home to check on my babies and the hen attacked one of her babies this is him a few days ago this is him now and so far alive, she bit his eye and a big tear across hi cere she has never done anything like this before the so and so he only came out of the nest yesterday This his brother a few days ago this is him now a big change

That's annoying when there is no action, I would take them out to refresh them and try again in afew days Ross

This violets offspring, I paied him to a sky violet spangle which is his half sister on his mothers side I got 3 young. A violet spangle, cobalt spangle probably sky violet really and a violet opaline. Here is dad haven't one of mum yet. here are the offspring These 2 are half siblings to the above birds, bred last year and they have the same mother I think he is a sky violet spangle as a baby a few months old now and his sister this picture is old, taken last year I will do his brother baby later hoped you enjoyed

WOW Daryl your birds are stunning, love the spangles, well done
