The last one is still out there Elly he's 5 weeks old don't know what I will do, The last 2 died at about 8 weeks but that was cruel but a friend wants this one so I think I will give it to him. The last 2 were monsters in the nest but once they came out they just faded away. AS for the hen not sure I think I should pass her on but then some one else will get the same problem but the thing is she has the best pedigree and the other 3 babies out of this nest 2 are crackers all grey green cinnamon opaline hens with really nice heads so far and good size birds. The last one I fostered and she's nice but small. The mop is grey green I might ask the breeder of her what he thinks because I know I have 4 mops this season but none last year and the year before was my 1st year breeding and my very first baby was a mop but that was the only one. But seems she has chucked 2 in 2 nest from different dads maybe I am out of luck.

Very lovely Neville going to be a cracka when she grows up.

It looks like one to me, Matt I have bred 4 this season 2 related and 2 not, It is genetic and it looks like my best hen with best pedigree is throwing mops. I have bred her twice this year with 2 different cocks and a mop each time.

Welcome, good luck on your search. I hope to be at the auction too.

Just popped in to say and I agree do with MB and Kaz on this subject but in the end it is your choice good luck.

:rofl: No Kaz he is talking about the birds he has bred pigeons, Show budgies and canaries since he was 8yrs old believe me that's along time ago. He hasn't shown a bird in years but he is my mentor, he really is so good he knows his birds and when we need a autopsy done he does it knows the insides and out of birds. I guess what Greg is all about is keep it simple but I keep telling he needs to catch up with the times. But really Kaz, most times he is right

I agree with Elly, yellow face type 2 cobalt spangle

How cute looks like she had fun

The only thing I am worried about is that when I give my birds egg here Greg makes only give them a bit as he believes it puts too much fat around there heart. AND is not good for them has any research being done on it. This will get you going Kaz Go for it Im ready Has anyone heard that. By the way I don't really listen to him too much because I just sneak what ever I need into their food and what he doesn't know what hurt

Yes but MB you have to buy 15 kgs of it, hey Kaz when is your next meeting?

Welcome! Wow they are all sooo cute! A very colourful bunch.

Well done they are all soooo cute

Looks great, can't wait to see the finish product.

Congratulations! :anim_19:

I need some too but would have to fine a few to go shares as it would take for ever to use, I wouldn't worry about it now as I have almost finished my breeding for the year.

He's only 5yrs Kaz but what I really meant Is I hope he doesn't keel over in the next winter on me as I count on him so much. He fills every egg too so he is going good, Sorry Pie for putting a m on the end on pie but can't see the keyboard at nite, blind as a bat :hi: old age

Really cute, funny :happy-dancing:

Thanks Pie Yes they are , The father is throughing real strong young real happy so far. I hope he lives another year for me as he is getting a bit old in the tooth. But he is a real treasure
