yeah i do show Neat, ive been taking my birds for about 3 years now, they are getting better than i started with slowly i think. i only go to a show once a year, but would like to go more often. the blue spangle at the top got reserve novice cock at the last show in march.

what is ( fledgling ) ? ? ?

yep he's a ski blue spangle alright, the blue on the back of he's head is a fult but a common one.

I probably wouldn't bother but you probrobably should though, if you keep your birds wormed and pest sprayed they should be right, but just to be safe i should tell you YES...

Quails are a really good idea for your aviry, ive got 3 avairies with a pair in each , they eat alot of dropped seed to keep mice away. the only thing is don't get a hen with more than 1 male as they will fight over her, it can get pretty grusem. they take a while to settle in and wont normaly breed straight away but once they get goin they dont seem to stop, if you are planing to breed them you should get some shade cloth and put it around the bottom of the cage as they will walk straight through normal cage wire. regards matt.

i would say you would have to have a leg ring on them for sure, even in small shows, this is to say that you have bread the birds and also it will say what year's chicks they are.like you could have a young smaller bird, trying to compete with a older larger mature one.i like your birds though,i was in your position when i started as well, all i wanted to do was show my birds but with out coded rings i wasn't able to.i would recomend joining a local show club if you can its heaps of fun.i would also say it would be a real good idea to maybe go along to a show first without your birds, that way you get an idea of what go's on .When i first started i ended up selling all the birds i had and buying a few from a more experienced breeder, they are a completly different type of bird altogether

ive got a few lacewings and a few splits but im unsure on how to pair them up, does anyone breed them? can hens be split? can u breed 2 splits? ive breed them last season to get the splits but now ive got them im not shore Moderator’s Message do not use shortcuts but approved ones located in our policies u = you, thank you
