thats the way to do it really their just like kids :hb:

jimmy banks is a very smart man if i must say so so much i read of his little quotes here and their all very eradicated if i must say in which i must and just did :rofl: its k jimmy i asked that question myself to pt (chookbreeder) when he joined forum lol as i was not to sure myself

all sounds great the first thing i do with my chicks is train them to fly to you after them learning they have freedom to love you as they will they do feel more like their own self and as you said become cheeky i love that in a bird also they are not afraid to try out new things 90 percent fly back is great your home is quiet open so very exiting to a little one you need to try keep all his toys and treats where you want him to be when not with you hows his getting to bed going have you tryed putting him in their reacuringly leaving door open so he still feels free every time he comes out just put him straight back but leave door open that may make him want to be in their i doubt it but id try its all about persistance

thanks for your concern jimmy banks but im into breeding birds all round the table im still intent on breeding nice pets for people of varying colors and mutations as i really love being able to sell people beautiful healthy birds at half or even 1 third of the price you would pay in pet store as for showing my birds are few years from any shows although i have breed some very useful chicks last round im breeding hens this year for myself and next so showing a fare way off besides if i can work on breeding albino masking df spangle opaline then i may have a chance at getting a good big board albino with nice feather and no suffusion :rofl: what so ever i am very serious when it comes to my dream of show birds and breeding winners and nice birds with quality but im very happy to take the long slow road to success rather than a few fry pan chicks so to speak

unfortunatelyi have been told no however if you breed two opaline birds a albino masking opaline and a opaline your going to get ..... lol ... i know i know just trying to make you feel better jimmy banks as im afraid i cant hijack your thread but i can make me look stupid and you very very normal :rofl: albinos have white doen regardless of variaty due to the meleniam reduction i belie (i cant spell but you get the drifft )

i tink this time a pet shop got it right sorry :rofl:

yes sex linked but they still mask what ever variety they are breed from eg df cobalt dom pied hen with albino cock masking lets say masking skyblue opaline /cinnamon the out come for this pairing could be all chicks will be domanant pied all hens will be opaline but some hens could be cinnamon opalines cocks could be normals or albinos all cocks will be split albino and 25 percent chance / to opaline and same with the possablity of being split to cinnamon 25 percent chance chicks could be sky cobalt or if violet modifier is in their inheritance you could get violet or sky violet chicks the thing im trying to work out to do is breed two albinos from different lines in grey both masking df spangle and Opaline a hen and a cock then breeding these to together to get 100 percent albino masking df spangle opaline chicks why cause i can and as i think they would be so very white and pretty its just to breed them i got to work out my best chance but thats where im not to good at things my mind fails me :rofl: so i thought id cheat and ask you guys

okay so i would get lacewings from that breeding ? m i thought they were diffrent allies albino is dominent over lacewing but cinnamon is dominant over ino and lacewing is dom over cin i thought :rofl: so it wouldnt work then to breed a df spangle albino in cinnamon but mabe in normal with out the cinnamon just when i tossed the idea to someone they seemed to think the df spangle would give the albino a suffused look more so then it would cover any

mmmmmm he is very smart i know that mabe i chose wrong bird to tame i just thought he looked very quiet and he was very well behaved lol seems he is trying to get it over you if he bits tell him no and mabe put him in cage as punishment for 5 minits everytime till he gets the hint oh and with your cage im sorry but looks very boring and bare mabe get some proper real tree branches for him a gum branch fruit tree bottle brush or grevillia and place it in their

yes but if you pair him right mabe you will only get the odd long flighted bird i got one out of two clutches did happen to be best bird i ever breed though lol murphys law lol hes going

okay so if i breed a albino masking df spangle would it be more inclined to have suffusion if i breed two cin grey spangles and got a df spangle in white masking cinnamon then bred the cin df spangle hen to a albino cock resulting in spangled hens and spangled cocks split albino then put the spangled cock split albino to a albino hen masking spangle and cinnamon what are my chances of breeding a df spangled grey cinnamon bird masked by albino ...anyone

nice one rip :rofl:

okay i knew you can get df dutch and df dom but i did not and never have heard of a df rec pied ever :rofl: :rofl: and that bird looks 6 months at oldest but if you say so....... just remember if shes not your risking her life

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

looks long flighted to me too

great picture loved it got my vote

very nice you havent had them long have you my memorry sucks lol give them time to settle you may of missed her cycle as she was ready to lay when you got her but she could of just been comming out so add seven weeks about on top of when you them they should have eggs by then as i said if no luck let me know nice pics

must be something in the air (culling lol ) i know with me its just from talking to the right people im getting right advice and help ps your birds doing great put the yf df with my paoli lute i think the others im not sure mabe the sky violet hen (not cobalt but thats bonus ) with my golden face borg n skiv cock when shes ready but for now their all happy enjoying each others company lol for a while away from the others
