If you work as good as you do with those entrepreneurial skills of yours I am sure you will be at nationals soon shannon Just remember to not cull them before nationals...

Thanks sunshine* MB did an awesome job looking after the babies and I am really grateful to her for hand raising them

X is mine. MB is keeping the grey one. I'm not sure about the health of the other baby, MB said she was taking him to the vet to get him assessed as he seems to have some problems, not sure if they are related to being hand reared or if they are a result of catching a disease...

haha thats funny I never noticed that before... have to go check out the Members Spangles thread...

great job pearce! And great photo's too

I noticed that he doesn't have any throat spots... when do they start to come in?? or will he never have any?

The brother was at the vets today getting checked out. MB thinks that there may be something wrong with him but we arnt sure if that is illness or due to being hand reared... I'll ask MB to let me know if they find anything out.

thats MB's (we split half the clutch ) Len is still hanging in there... having a hard time putting on weight. But this is a happy thread so he will make a full recovery soon

very well explained RIP.

agreed Kaz.

yes he will be going for a check up at the avian vet. I may even do an extended quarantine with him... (len is still in a hospital cage anyway's until he boosts his body weight but you can't be too careful)

that is great very cute birds.

I wouldve thought the boy was a lutino rather than a YF albino... just looks to consist a dark colour but I have been wrong many times before as for the hen... definitely looks opaline... dunno what colour though...

He is so cute... The others will correct me if I am wrong but He looks like a yellow face skyblue opaline greywing??? or does the greywing dilute the colour and it is a cobolt? ahh the others will be able to tell you if you want to know

If you take an Aussie to Somalia do they automatically become Somalian?

congrats on the jelly bean sorry that they didn't produce more babes for ya

Wow this has become a deep thread. philosophies on life and being. I think for me, saying that it all comes down to chemistry and physics is a little narrow but then again saying that the earth has a conscience is a bit strange too. But I can agree with DrNat when she says we don't know. I think, especially in this era, that the vast majority of humans think they know a lot, but in my opinion, I think the more we learn the less we know... if that makes sense...

what seed is that?

keep your eye on her they can turn for the worse pretty quickly... Had you fed her anything different than what you normally do?

I thought you were going to say delicious for a second there...

Chad looks fantastic. Love his colours!

I love your birds splat they are fantastic!

to be honest.. I can... :rofl: The troubles that we had getting 2 chicks... that's A LOT of work. Don't get be wrong the results are very rewarding but still it isn't easy. Birds dieing, hand raising chicks... I really am lucky to of had MB who knows what she is doing... I will go solo next year but I won't be breeding this year...

well I don't have any photo's of the grey fella, maybe MB will be able to get pictures of him later but these are some pictures that I've taken of the baby today. :rofl: So Cute!

Well the day finally came and I have brought home Lip's baby from MB's house. Thanks so much to her for helping me out! She was very friendly and helpful. We struck some problems with both the parents passing away and so she was left to hand raise the chicks. So with out further ado... Ladies and Gentlemen, Girls and boys may I introduce to you.... X And if you are wondering where I got the name from?
