splat

I already have him planned out but could still use him. If I was to show him next weekend would that be to much for him as he went to the shield and riverina I really need some advice Why I haven't really considered him is if I was to use him they all would be spangles and I really was some good quality normals.

Yes Heath the Sky is a Geoff Tonkin bird father is a Sky pied from Ross Loats and mother a sky from Tonkins he won't be ready to put with any bird for another 2 weeks at least because he is in Quarantine. What I can see on thier pedigrees Heath is no relation.

I don't know just go can't see why not :yes:

Yes Jimmy I am in my forth year I think I have 2010 to go yet unless I get the points. Thanks Jimmy you make my birds sound good Just hope it keeps going as the judge warned me the other that you can have years of not doing any good so you this hobby you need to be patent :yes: But I am getting a good line going and I am going to work on it, so we will see how we go. Jimmy that cinn sp that MB got off me and the DF white spangle they layed eggs do you know if they have hatched yet can't get hold of MB

Thanks Nubbly I thought that about the sky cock too, the violet is a big bird he is not dumpy just the photo but I think he would be a better match and no I haven't used him yet. :yes: So I will mostly choose between him and the spangle.

I use news paper too. Looking good Renee, I only have 4 pair down at the moment.

Thanks Macka but I am dissappionted, I was talking to someone last night and he advised not to take the yellow DF spangle to my club show Saturday week because it might be to much for him.Because he went to the Adult shild and the Riverina.He is looking great and fit and heathy but he said he might not breed for me do you agree. That will be 3 shows for the year for him but they are close Thanks everyone Nubbly I love those 2 too and the white one is turning out a super bird he is full brother to the sky cinn and only 4 and a half months old.

Thanks Nerwen and GB, I am thinking sky mainly because I would like some nice skys in my breeding program and he is a nice bird good size as they are both and he has good chest and shoulder and nice length. The second violet is the strongest out of the 2. Gb the spangle is 04 bird he is the father of your grey full brother to the violets

Wow exciting

that poor poor boy is the father of nearly all my birds and he is getting old but he is goooood.

Thanks Pearce and Liv but I still have soooo much to learn.

The spangle is the yellow Df's father Pearce, and he is split for blue.

Thanks Kaz , I think I am on to something here

These are my hopefulls sorry about so mant pics of each but they are so photogenic I couldn't help myself Sky Cinn Spangle this is her full brother and I won best bird at show in Beginners with him is sister above got opp sex to him This Dark Green cinn fasn't gone to a show yet syill moulting Ir has this LT green op spangle she is still moulting too she is a half sister to the yellow DF and violets all have the same father This grey cinn op spangle is full sister to my tellow DF spangle she got reserve hen at the show Better remond you what the yellow DF spangle looks like Hope you all enjoy

This is her now I could use this boy grey green op spangle father to Yellow DF and violets This Violet OR this Violet which are full brothers or this sky no relation at all What do you think

As i said earlier that happened me last year

okay Kaz will Later, I have never seen a hen do it to the wire. I have had cock birds that do but i have never seen a hen. This is the hen this photo was taken a view months ago or more and not a real good photo

I have hen that I am showing next week she is a sky blue she has a very wide face she is going to make a great stock hen. Well she is ready for breeding in her view her cere is light brown and and she is doing it to the wire every five minutes I will post a picture soon. I need to decide who to put her with. My choices are; Violet cock GG Spangle my old cock that is throwing everything great, the violet cock is his son Sky cock Geoff Tonkin bird which is half Ross Loats bird Need to think on this

Good Luck .if there was a tab near by I would have a little a bet but the nearest one is half an hour away.

Kaz they are beautiful just love them

Hard way to learn! And it's very good to have a standard if you want to show birds. By The Way we are generally nicer over here As show manager if I pick up on a mis-classed bird at benching time I will generally reclass it for the exhibitor (even approach them if there are different options for the bird i.e. hen class etc) and usually if the judge picks up a problem and it does not disturb the judging order we will reclass it then as well. We write the new class on the cage sticker so the exhibitor can see. Nicer way for people to learn, especially Novice breeders/showers. But we ARE talking smaller shows I guess. The one thing we do not tolerate is split rings or any disqualifying points. I heard from Ian Hannington after Adelaide Nats, that they were generally ignoring split rings on birds in shows and judging them anyway, hence the embarrassment at Adelaide with the split ring left on a NSW bird. Things may have changed since then though I suppose . It was that show manager, when I realised every told me to ask him to change it but he said no and when the judge eventually got around to judging her he noticed and asked the judge did he want to change her because I was a beginner and he said no. The club I am in now I noticed last year the changed a few around for other people. I think it depends on the manager etc. That's hen I just won Adult opposit sex with.

Thank you for the great advice Nub you have been very helpful. my birds are use to me preparing them now that they look forward to their spraying But of course their health is more important than any show.

but why I bought them ? Sorry Kaz a big error No I meant they are great I like the spangle's head the best but they are all vert nice

I think every one was over the moon with that rain

I got disqualified last year at the Riverina show on my hen, I entered her in cinnamon and not AOVS because she was cinnamon opaline so I learned the hard way but then I did not no how to read the show form soon learned how and bought the stanard book and everything.
