GenericBlue

i use 20 k breeders mix budgie 20 k breeders mix canary and 10 k breeders mix finch i also started adding hulled otes resently as its molting time at my place also some small parrot mix 10 each of the last two mentioned and mix it all together once a month i add linseed and altenate it with cod liver oil one tabble spoon to 5 k leave sit for 15 minits before feeding then remove next morn any uneatten seed as it goes sour and vegies every day breed dayly

defenently i will this is very odd in my books the other chick is less yellow again the feathers are so random will get more pics full body frount back side when can moving next to days so but may get some time :rofl:

no they were white liv and the yellow is actually quiet buttercup not lemmon as apears i will keep updated pics when can the yellow face always does moult in darker you are right but this is really diffrent i swear ive had light yellow faces before and as you say they are quiet faint but this ..the chicks were really white faced i will put up picture latter of chicks when out nest when able

if you look really closly jimmy you can see on the blue based chicks wing feathers just under where the white is showing through a tint of black almost a grey shade that their is a sure sighn to see if its a spangle as spangles have the white then the black on each feather , spangle my guess from that picture

well my sky violet cin opaline hen and my yellow face type two albeno their chicks were as follows a skyblue spangle with a darkblue tail a violetsky spangle a violet opaline a skyblue normal now thats nothing weird ...how ever the skyblue spangle with the darkblue tail he after 6 weeks started to get a yellow seep into the underneath of his tail feathers i remember kaz saying it was poo stain but it was not i washed him and still a very pale lemmon yellow i disregared it and the bird was sold now the chicks are going into their first moult and the violetsky spangle is one feather at a time turing yellow face and his under feathers also are starting to seep very pale yellow that was okay i looked at remainging two bird and nothing this morning however the violet opaline cock has began to grow in yellow feathers on his face also the skyblue normal nothing i e mailed the man i sold the first chick to and asked him if his chick had this same thing happen and he replyed saying no it was still white faced so can anyone tell me ?????whats going on i thought birds were either born yellow face or they were not ....am i wrong can they change after the first moult ? i will take more later and some of the violet cock to show you

are probiotics like yoguit ??????

pretty much learn from observing the mutations you place together and watching the chicks develop i remember daz once saying df spangles are also born with pink eyes but i dont know cin chicks eyes are red for five days then darken pieds have a white spot on their pink skin on back of head yellow face usually have a darkning around the top of cere a week into being born and along top of wing all away along you just get usto what you breed and it comes natrally after a bit

thank you all up it only cost me $700 .00 to make thats including the brand new shed which is great

wish i got suprized only suprize i ever get is when i breed a new albeno hen to find out what she masks even then im usually right in my guess i want a suprize that just gave me an kinda suprize should bring out a new egg with collectable budgies and mutations colours for easter lol now theirs one for you know your a bird nut when????when you think of dumb things like that

lol thats funny but i think a bar fridge would be better well i have decided to place pavers on the floor when i move and brush over with sand and shell grit im not going to put a foutain in anymore or a shellow pond after reading some things on here decided its not a good idea ..quote dave mac....a place to harbour mozzies .?good point i never thought of but i will set up my spray for the warmer days im still going to install a recycal water system (reene i will let you know how that goes wellone more sleep the first night im going to be sleeping in an empty house alone im bringing my pillow my little girl staying with mum till the beds and stuff come friday we will be in our new home together friday night .....she is so beautiful my little girl and has been a fantastic suport throgh our stay at my mums bless her

well i havent even thought of a house warming lol im just thinking of ....... monday i got friday on my mind yep get keys thurs morn so exited friday moving truck but party i will for months on end but first things first my need to set up aviry and settle my babys into their new home going to sit in back yard thursday and watch the sun move over the yard find the right spot so they get morning sun and late avo sun so...well i will go to the libary and im hoping toget back into my art work and my pot gardens might decide to sell some them now and again for 15 bucks only need to sell 6 a month and i can get the net im very artistic so i will find something to make and sell with a low or no cost to me where theirs a will theirs a way i do love this place its great for everything a laugh a cry (some the storys) great info and helpful happy (well mostly)pepole shiny happy people

okay mines easy i dont like to be known or seen as a sterio type put in to a cadagory so like the blue lable food brands ...generic and as im in to blue based birds ...blue genericblue just seemed to go well

looking good splat cant wait to see out come chicks

that first picture is beautiful bird very nice good luck they are nice birds

what are pro botics liv remember i only started getting show birds this year so never had any problems before its almost a turn off almost... the vet didnt mention anything about pro botics personally i think im just a bit worryed as i never seen a bird sick in my aviry before so im treating everyone my aviry floor is not wet or damp ever and i clean it (sweep )dayly i change water dayly and fresh food is only left in for two hours then removed between 9am and 11am only one bird has been sneezing the rest are looking very well although some are going through their moulting regardless im keeping all birds till im positive they are all fine

no liv my birds all looking fine apart from the cock i took out i took out a hen also and a few that were fluffed but all of them are fine and longer fluffed exept the one cock and possably the grey hen 5 birds all up i took out that was almost 2 weeks ago mabe a tad longer but none with any sighns of sickness i took thoughs 5 out as they had brown staining about the top of their cere but apart from that nothing i treated them with oxymav b soluble broardspectrum antibiotic powder then i freeked out and decided to treat the whole flock with oxy b which is stronger than the other one i was told they are all beeing treated with the liquard ivomectom and on thursday i was told to give them chiorhexidine the vet said that i may of caused a yeast infection in my birds im getting the whole flock teasted for everything when i move just incase the vet said their all good exept this one cock and im going to get him tested for other things after this treatment she wants to start at the bottom and work up see if he improves with that stuff if not then test him for the bad things to me this makes no sence but i am not the vet and am only doing whats instrucked as i have had no birds die or become ill or bad dropings she thinks its all good even the bad looking cocks droppings are fine he is just breathing deeply and has the brown discolouration above the cere but nolonger fluffed and sitting postured once again i am not risking putting these birds back with flock and will treat as new birds and quarinetene for till im happy they are all good im sure they are fine but i have never had a sick bird so am freaking out abit as i know it only takes one split second for a flock to become unwell if something serrious is up i will keep updated birds all happy as ,though i have got freash paper down morning and night to keep eye one dropings and have numbered birds per cage so i can view their behaviour infact they seem happyer in the sun (my new aviry doesnt get sun at moment) so..... well if anyone has any thing to say any thoughts please say as i could use something an opinion anything am i doing wrong or what

just as a up lift for my birds i had one not to good looking boy (who was removed ) but as he had been in with the flock i wanted to treat them all incase something bigger was happening i guess seeing him like that freaked me out so i decided to treat them all under his advice i used something else to treat them all cant remember name off hand will let you know when i look at bottle it was a 5 day treatment covering most things changed dayly he went to vet last friday as still did not improve and to date he still unwell the vets **** though and i feel i wasted alot of money and still no awnser to whats wrong or weather i should be worryed i tryed to get a vet to come out or see if they would look at a few randoms but they looked didnt even touch one bird and said ivomectom for 5 days twice dayly water change for the whole flock and im going down tomorrow to get something else she said i might as well treat for everything so... shes the vet personally i think they look worse for it and have not been able to have their dayly veggies fruit for almost week and a half im not happy that they all needed it and belive i may of given some of them a fungul infection from the antibodys so now the vet giving something else i can only trust in them as i dont know i just know they were all good exept this one and they were good for weeks untill i treated them all now im parranoyed and cant tell whats what as they molting as well now and going to be moved for fourth time this last few months its all to much for them i think and me their poo all good a few got loose but i removed them also infact i have taken all birds out aviry and placed in cages as so i can monitor them the ones who look all good are in my spare aviry but still being treated i will let you know out come it was sugested as i thought the bird may have gotten a cold and because he has show birds i guess thats what he treats his with he said it would just boost them a bit ?what is the real deal with it whats it used for ????

will be sure to take a look by way it looks good

beautiful sereane idea though

are the windows open windows 24 /7 ? im currious as will be doing my own bird room oneday soon and trying to get an idea as to ones that close or are a perminant vent

sorry to hear about your birds hope the chicks do well

slave auctions always good lol can buy a slave for a whole day from 8am to 8 pm the have to do what ever you want within the gide lines set out just need people willing to do slave labbour for a day always raises lots

you all crack me up me i just fill the holes with rat sack and fill them back up with dirt for now will try harder when in own place going to put that mouse proof stuff under the floor of my aviry whats it called some kind of messy stuff so they can not get in through digging in hope fully i wont get mice this year i did living at the back of a massive farm but when i move fingers crossed lots of ideas to use though thanks guys

wow girl you sure can take a good shot and your birds are beautiful i love them both the dom more but i love doms dont ever stop your photo taking and kaz the coffee table book i totally say a winner i also would buy one try doing pics for people of their pets you can get a good bit of extra cash that way and you dont need to charge much and pics like thoughs word of mouth will travle everyone will want your pics of their pets i know i would and i do photos for people now and then myself yours **** all over mine

and its handy to have albenos who mask other mutations that are rececive like rec pied or grey wing as it makes for a quick way to get a full rececive factor and albenos all at once i love when my albenos are masking opaline its a nice added suprise as well as rec pied or something else grey wing as i mentioned above
