well all birds i buy i ask to hold to check over if i cant do that i dont buy but if hen has no sighn of age i feel to see if she has layed yet .. if yes well thats 6 months straight their as around here the breeders breed them young sometimes before culling ( crul but they do it ) so then i look at way they sit is it slouched ,tall, is she active so on if i decide to by i just call her 6 months as that way she is covered cocks also i look for their masculinity but its easyer now as i just look for the colour ring with the show birds and with the pet types well i breed my own hens as you do for show and used same principle Wow, that's interesting. Maybe when I gain some experience, I will be able to tell if a hen has layed, or what signs of masculinity are. basiclly i look at his little balls around that area see how developed it is down their also you can tell if a hen has layed more than twice in her life its a bit soft and spungy not to mistaken for tummor or the likes usually the bones are close together if you can place your pointer finger in the pelvic bone area and it fits chances are she has layed how ever this is just a detumination does not nesaceraly mean she has

looks like a hen in their kaz

yes kaz she can .. but i was sure when you put a opaline cock to a normal or spangle you can get normal hens not just opaline as well as opaline only diffrents being that the hen being a df spangle will give all spangle chicks so thats the easy part cocks are all split yes i knew this but i swear you could get a normal spangle hen as well as opaline hens as mum is not sex linked ....unless kaz is right and mums masking opaline in which case all chickswill be opaline spangle cocks and hens am i really wrong about the normal or spangle(forget the mutation ) to a opaline cock being normal hens opaline hens and split cocks ????

he also looks spangle ???

the grey in fount looks normal spangle ??? but splat is correct with the out come of your pairings expectations but cant you also get normal hens (spangle of course )?

Yeah ...one does look like it is too. would that be the second from the left kaz im curious

i like the look of pair to the hen has that male look which i love i cant tell you about eggs sorry and i wouldn't candle them yet if you were thinking of it good luck with it all

well i say the hen is only 9 months now not when you got her reason i say this is that the yellow is much brighter suggesting she has had a molt the first picture you can see shes just coming out of one and i can tell that she is no more than 3 months their so when you look at it that way liv is correct she would be 6 months maybe 7 but always go on the youngest guess ( i do ) the cock bird looks to be no older than to months when you got him possibly younger as he has molted into his first molt he could not be more than 4 to 5 months again choosing four as the base age that's how i concluded the around about age of them both and taking in their date of purchase and i wouldnt be breeding either till this time next year just to be sure

that pied really is lovely splat

i love your bread mainly too whole meal or grain dam key computer has a slerrrrrrrrrr hay

i would want to say how old when you got her,... she is no older than 9 months though as for cock i think take a month off say 4 to 5 now five months is my guess he is still very young looking

:rofl: no dave as i ended up with a violet a skybluesh weird colour and one like him which i call blue grey( which in my terms means he holds violet factor) a grey medium and a grey dark so im not 100 percent and you could be wright but im thinking violet grey as in a light grey bird holding violet their for his colour is modifyed a shade darker apering as a grey b lol as for children ....and dateing habbits :rofl: nar dave i have many children of all race they come and go as they need the young samalian boy lost his mother resently to his fathers hand and his father took off back to his own country leaving him with a nasty step mother whom tied him up for weeks at a time with out real food and she would throw water at him every few days he is staying with me for while till i can help him on his feet he is 19 the asian son is a boy whom lives in town he is looking for a aprentaship as a cook he stays most weekends to have respite from his family whom are also a tad over dissaplenry the other two are my full blooded children i have a older son whom lives with his father as you wouldbe awear being a teatcher dave you would understand the need for some children to be able to have a safe place to go i am that safe place i get children from all over come and stay with me but im happy to help out besides its company as :hap: my dateing habbits are pretty obsalete guess im waitting for something i will never find it is funny picture though little monsters i have about five more i was takeing pics to send rip , i guess i will need to redo them all

ha i did that for a while only i did not defrost in micky wave i left thaw on bentch the portals were small enough that it was fine doing this i also had kids tell me i cook the birds more that i do them in way of biscuits lol how ever i used many different things i am over it now as i got ridiculed to much by my outside family members the birds have their own fridge in shed with freezer and i keep a supply of different veg and seasonal fruit fresh,frozen ,and sometimes canned i do however still cook their fresh rice and beetroot the beetroot is cooked in vinegar although i only feed this more in winter and serve warm (not the beet that gets given monthly ) when ever i cook mash i do extra for them and of course they love the roasted chicken carcus they get breed daily all different types however they don't really eat the raisin breed

thank you dave i believe he is a fine looking fella myself and i saw his potential as soon as i spotted him Ive found out hes / to Opaline and possibly cinnamon hopefully all his offspring feather up as lovely as her still bit hard to tell yet i am going to place him with my best cinnamon hen to find out this is her at top that way if he is bonus and if not his new chicks will be he will be taking time out however after his new little one is raised as i don't like to breed in the summer and am working on my aviary upgrade while birds all enjoy holiday camp in the cool back porchunfortunately for them though i am placing all cocks and hens separate the aviary is pretty much finished just got to hinge the shutters on and im thinking about separating it into 3 flights one small 1 and half meter by 90 to place baby's in before releasing them and then split it right down center but really im not sure if i want to cut their flight space i will probably just get another aviary, his and hers :rofl: for both cocks and hens :hap: mate could not tell you i have tried to find out the the breeder claims his not his bird so but its his ring code i am not to worried as im getting that enjoyment you miss with the show birds trying to figure out his splits and true color mutation so far Ive found that i was correct in the fact that he is not grey and hes split Opaline as started just before

well i may just be doing that weather i want to of not dave as the birds when moved to holding area disagreed with my decision and pursued their relationship the hen deciding to nest in corner she had layed one egg either on the 25 really late or the 26 (yesterday)really early so as she was sitting disgruntled by the other birds in the corner i decided to give them their box back so we will see what happens ,i do want to add however that im not sure if i will pair them again after this, late next year if i do..as their first chick had weird legs it was a very big baby and healthy all the same intill it was stopped being feed by foster she feed him since day three then decided not to none of the other hens would either so i took on the job he was doing very well so i gave him to his foster home where he deteriated over night and died (vet said he was dobble jointed but i belive he was deformed and it was really for the best as his legs even splinted and braced did not fix by week three but im happy with my out come i think he is going to be a beauty shannon you dont need to apoligize for not likeing albinos mate we are all diffrent
