look what i did ..... with lots of love and twice day daly bathing with warm salt water i present to you my new improved chicks oldest of the three light green Opaline no more eye problems second chick third chickall together so they are looking completely better all i did was everyday i treated eyes with one drop warm salt water to each eye and two drops in mouth i cleaned nest before treatment started also increased fruit ( apple orange or manderine and lemon slice daily rather than ever second day )and egg n weeties and grated carrot will post lacewings in minit as twomany pics forpost but here is a very welcomed and only straight from shell prem baby from my / albino cock this it just hatched unfeed still its fine by way i didnt think it would make it but did (not helpped out ) for some reason these chicks are pipping themselves to earliy i lost one yesterday pipping death :hooray: lacewings they wouldnt sit still and as i just handled the other babys i wasnt touching these guys as they may look better but who knows yet (i took picture baby first before touching three others

okay no im not sure to be honest with him he does seem the bronzy green a violet green would be but only if it was single factor golden face giving rip said hes not then he cant be violet green as for a normal none gf bird to be dark green violet it is a more emerald coloured bird i still think rain is sky blue gf

:hooray: just what the doctor ordered cant ask for more than that

can i ask kaz how do you decide that a chicks comming out dilute or grey wing im missing something i think as i cant tell is it tail feathers or what ???

She's got a great head for a hen...hard to find. Well done ,GB. thanks hun one egg today id say layed last night

any updated pics of chicks

i agree tolally with kaz all babys i have ever tammed was once its out of the nest never before mum and dad brought them all up themselfs however i did handle every day and one at a time so mum and dad dont get upset you just takebaby for a while keeping it warm and as its get older you incress the time you take it read makeing a baby for houman i sort of explained dayly the time lengths and what age sorry i cant find thread for u though

thats what i did dean and i didnt need to prove anything to them they just knew i am a stayer and really want to achieve things and it really has made a diffrence to my thinking as now i know a few breeders whom know im their in always and they are helpping me out with regards to finding birds i may be requiring to get started along with advice on other issues i got a fantastic lesson on feather and quality from one of our more well known breeders in vic and was invited to their avirys to see how they ran things what was feed what was required in general i learn t so much in a few short hours and was well am very thankful as it did help me understand dietary needs and quality of birds feather buff, yellow double buff maintenance of aviary and importance of cleanliness and keeping your stock breed for at least one year although im in no situation to be able to do this as yet im working on it so took me one whole year to find these people before that i just talked to everybody i still do but i tend to refer back to my few mentors before going forward with new ideas as they do know after all me well im a bit of a lose cannon so its good to have someone to stop me from doing certain things and the most important part is you need to be able to take criticism and to actually listen

nice its like the ice age lol i prefer 35 to 37 myself im in wrong state i think lol Ice Age Well its a balmy 35c in my living room at the moment, sitting in front of the fire. how bigs your aviary when do i move in do you like ducks , rabbits , ginnipigs and oh year kids and talking large smart worded parrots

nice its like the ice age lol i prefer 35 to 37 myself im in wrong state i think lol

yes i wasnt meaning you wont get anymore help i was just meaning you better taking them in person and talk and see ask questions to keep them healthy till vet no veggies just freash water and seed okay most important

Sorry, I may have over exaggerated and I don't want to cause trouble. I rang someone that has a lot to do with BCV (judge). He said I'd have no luck joining 'this club'. Thank you for your encouragement, it's just a little disheartening. Thats a very good idea no luck as in they were not going to be very good help or no luck as in they dont want you theirs a diffrence

as i said you need to take birds in in person thats all i can say they need a all over examination my friend sorry to b a stick in the mud but sending samples will not cut that many deaths specially one with smelly breath

yep it is alpaca

cool thanks just think if they die from temp change ill have to start all again so i was worryed about it gets warm in their in day cold at night though as you oviously know from your own place 1 wow i thought 4 was cold

I know but at least I get to see these in the flesh as GB suggested and I think it will be easer for the both of us, I don't like making things hard for people. How about you KAZ do you have any birds that I could buy like omelette You have experience in sending birds so it should be okay right taboo what birds are you after do you have a favorite breeder examle i love the look of watson, also nubbly 5 and splat birds steven elliot birds and borg n skivington birds theirs a few more but but my birds are mostly made up of flanagan,paoli,and rowe brother, nubbly 5, n splat birds it helps to find the look you want then the birds to follow their are plenty more i like but what i decided to start with is written above

yes mate roof also thats just last its a bit debate able as to weather i put birds in after its done as its so cold they been at around 10 to 15 degree so i dont know if i want to risk dropping their temp by up to 5 degeree what do others think it gets to 4 degree and lower here at night

i found myself that breeding and taking my own notes was alot easyer than understanding other assessments as im dislexic and have troubles in this area i found a topic daz wrote however its very easily put into consent may be read it http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index....showtopic=12367 hope this worked

hi sorry no one awnsered youi was hopeig someone else would as im probbly going to be told im wrong anyway but heregoes starters a bird can not be split to violet it either is violet dark green or not lets say it is and he pairs with the sky blue spangle then you will get possably sky blue , sky violets , violets , cobalts , in spangle and norm the other pair you could get simular but grey in the mix really depends on alot of things your question was not really as simple as it seemed look up peter burgmans infomation on violet breeding youwill find out what i mean

we dont We ask about iris rings as a means of helping work out a bird, but as iris rings can be a little hit and miss in certain birds we dont use that only as the deciding factor. Its in combination with other things, markings etc. yes i know but most time the deciding factor seems to be weather theirs iris rings or not i relize many other things come into play but think we may all get to lean something from this pairing or maybe ill just look silly either way weve learnt lol thanks lealotta thats my own breed hen im very proud of her she is not fully show stock shes breed from my opaline grey /rec pied cock i breed from a pet grey opaline hen and show cull sky blue /op /rec pied cock to a grey spangle show cull that is more than average and looks worse than my pets but i saw something in mind you this was the only nice chick i kept others were nothing

they are nice chicks mate well done keep up goodwork
