*libby*

Agree, definatly a male Fallow Some hens do strange thinks... No-one ever really knows what's going on in their head I guess... If it was the same parents as the fallow bub they were more than likely fallows also.

Yes, it's one of their traits. Same as the iris rings. Some have less markings, some have more so the patch may or may not be seen as easily.

I think he's really cute! Looks like you have a career in animae ahead of you!

It's definatly a fallow then Could have been either sex. Liv was basing the sex on the cinnamon mutation, but now we've concluded it is infact a fallow it could have been either sex. Any photo's of it front on?

Congratulations! What gorgeous bubs! Welcome back

Lovely pictures! That one who passed away looks fallow like from the pink aorund it's eye and how the eyeball itself looks red. Lucky

No, the patch on the back of her head is from the dominant pied side of things. As kaz said she's a dominant pied spangle and may be yf2 or just a green.

Congrats AV! As they say though, don't stress, whatever will be will be

Hi and Welcome to the forum Look forward to meeting your new guy, it must be so exciting after not having one for soo long! Great to have you aboard

Looks great Renee What deep litter method? Or do you mean only in the cabinets? Because aviary floor looks spotless to me

Definatly a green bird

I agree, grey green opaline dom pied and a grey green cinnamon wing And definatly nice birds

Kids and you are welcome anytime neat I already have 2 here, sheesh, what's a couple more

Oh no! I hope you find him I hate losing birds to the wild! Good luck

They don't eat the blossom itself they munch on the leaves. I reckon a hibiscus flower with a leaf on it would be gorgeous!

Nice! I get a trip next year Must be so exciting! I know it's great having members near by already

Was he aviary bred Liv? Looks like a bit of hanky panky went on elsewhere

lutino masking spangle

I agree, it's up to your personal choice, If my pairs look well and didn't have overly large clutches before i'll allow a third clutch, but no more.

Same from me 1 green spangle and two yf2 spangles

I think boy girl girl... Wow we're all undecided on this one

The green looks to definate green to be a yf blue...? as it's only a light green having yf2 wash over it should have turned it seafoam - had it of been sky blue, or Aqua- had it of been cobalt There's no definate way to tell if she's split blue, as they say, test breeding.

I'm gonna be a pain in the butt and say I'm not positive it's a hen on this one yet, any photo's of it from front on? I'd say it's younger than 4 months by the way

Haha Love the Photo's Kaz! Especially the spikey beastie

Can't always go by iris rings, Agree with Neville, it's the patterning on the Body that shows it. Same as you get Dominant pieds that don't have clearflights but are still classed as one.
