well i still say its a silly idea someone came up with to make cash and not fair on the birds :nest: but thats my own opinion and that vidio just made me more inclined to say how dumb is that not only looks stupid but ... poor bird having to wear it

yes she does its the look im liking for my hens not easy to breed though im hoping to be able to use these birds chicks as foundations to my stud :nest: the two hens chicks /offspring im meaning

i forgot about him well why do we all keep telling everyone that their bird is not dom or df dom unless their got iris rings maybe this practice should stop if where to know theirs possibility of it being true :nest: oh i really do hope hes a dom pied i dont belive that the person i recived him off would give me the b u m b s steer but then he was stumped by it so didnt want to chance rec pied getting into his doms hope hes dom i really do we will see from this pairing wont we thats the whole idea of this pairing

no shannon she isnt does look like the look splat breeds why i like her birds i guess its a caulfield family hen shes 08 i got her in 09 auction one my first show hens this is my splat hen shes not up to breeding for sometime though i kind of stuffed up with her but you learn :nest: this is 09 picture s

dave is totally right and that last bit of info about the millet is the best advice as hes at perfect age

thank you kaz im hoping they will give me a good result i think they are a complementary pairing im hoping so

yes i know thats why i want to see what he is remembering i have never breed this bird myself im going off information from the previous breeder but he has no iris rings and their for to me must be rec pied in all the knowledge i have consumed over time basically i cant understand why they told me hes rec pied or dom they dont know which but that they dont belive hes df dom as hes had one normal chick i dont have full information and well a gift is a gift im not about to go digging to deeply im just going to breed him and get to bottom myself if by truth he has breed doms yes you are right he is just that if by chance he doesnt produce dom pieds then well i will no to discount what i was told and that he is indeed recessive as his eyes would sugest

well thats the thing kaz thats why im confused when i was given him i was told he was df dom well thats what he was brought as but then as not all his chicks were dom they decided they didnt want him anymore as he produced a normal their for could not be df dom i think his partner was a light green opaline cinnamon i think but dont know for certain but i do know he produced a opaline grey green dom pied /blue with someone ??? i was told the light green opaline but really i dont know thats just what i was told but why is he got no iris rings as that blows every body's theory's out the water in one go bang no more its not df dom its rec pieds on here ever ever again if thats the fact so..... :nest: im going to breed him and see what happens i do hope hes a df dom but then again hes a nice rec pied if hes that its been doing my head in so time to find out

:nest: was wondering how one of my fav breeders is going any updates on how things are ??? hope your good my friend

if hes df dompied not rec then half chicks will be dom pied and half normal thats provided hes not split rec pied and mums not split rec pied okay re reading this i got it wrong df dom all chicks will be dom pied i ment to say if hes single factor dom pied :nest: by the way i noticed alot of my birds dont look to have iris rings they do exept this weired cock whom doesnt know hes a recessive pied if his chick out come is anything to go by he thinks hes a dom i cant wait to find out what he truley is

thanks i dont shake as much so their clearer having birds in front room is a lot better as its just right temp and i can check them when i need to just got to vac at least 4 times a day lol to keep seed out :nest: its just till my aviry is finished which i will also update soon show you guys how its going at moment its on stand still

thanks dave shes one my favs also i will endeavor to keep these updated for everybody's viewing pleasure :nest:

oh soooooooooooo cute Fergus looks like a Fergus too lol

third pairing okay so i have a hen i breed shes possibly split to receive pied but wont find this out unless put to a recessive pied cock just happened i was gifted a fantastic looking rec pied cock bird hes a o6 boy but lots of fire still i was told the catch is we dont know if hes df dom or recessive pied now before you all go and do the look at the eyes thing on me (which i know ) this cock bird has fathered 5 dom pied chicks and a normal in the one clutch so i thought this may be a good pairring to share with you all as i myself have no clue as to whats going to pop out by rights if hes recessive pied and shes not split to rec pied then all chicks should be normal split rec pied chicks i think hes Opaline so all chicks will be Opaline if hes df dompied not rec then half chicks will be dom pied and half normal thats provided hes not split rec pied and mums not split rec pied if they both are split rec pied then chances are of half chicks being rec pied at least one will be anyhow i will let this pair do two rounds also to be certain now if dad is dom / rec and mum is opaline / rec pied i will get half rec pieds , dom pied and normal and if hes df dom pied / rec pieds and shes split rec pied i have no clue what to expect are you lost yet as i am :rofl: :nest: well if i got anything wrong or you think you may want to try guess out come before chicks com then go for it will be interesting what comes of this and who was closest with their guess from what i know and chicks i know hes had im clue less woops pics may help hen together cock

i have paired a sky-blue spangle cinnamon hen mother to a sky-blue spangle / cinnamon cock i was hoping just to achieve some nice chick out comes with this pair and maybe if im lucky a nice df spangle cock hen would do father so far their is two eggs layed 14th june 16th june my fingers are crossed for this pairing as last time i tried them a massive storm hit and killed all eggs from all pairs they had three fertile eggs out of five so lets see if second time i can make up for the lost three :nest:

cheers holden012 i love the feathering stage myself well more pics today i didn't take out as chicks are snuggled as you can see and its freezing here im yet to add anything to the nests incase your thinking why is their nothing in their i will be doing this in few days i dont like to do this till i need to clean box for first time will be just putting pine shavings in their then after all chicks are two weeks they will get Otes and weetbix with hulled Otes and seed in box to encourage eating and scrounging all snuggled up the other three getting more feathers starting to see the deep cinnamon quills on the wings im hopeing thats a good sighn of nice lacewings but wouldn't know my other lacewing chicks were not very good quality and i dont remember them having deep quills so fingers crossed

i honestly dont know how you do it how many cabinets do you have and how many did you put up first rounds your out comes have seemed good how many chicks do you think are of excellent quality can you see any that stand out yet ???

To his credit, the young man who is taking BUDDY has researched his new pup on the internet for months before choosing the breed he wanted, and he has cared for a virtual pet on his nintendo dsi and he has worked out a schedule for caring for, walking, and training his new pup. Sadly a friend of his who was to be getting his new retriever pup wont anymore as the pup died after its vaccination and now our young man is worried about the safety of BUDDY as his vaccination is due for next Tuesday oh kaz thats so sad well im sure buddys a lot tougher than that this little guy has nothing to worry about im possitive and as for buddy what more could a puppy want than a new boy as his best friend

i can just see the new look flocks with clean floors and a nappy bin and a change table but macka is right they arnt the stupid ones the stupid ones are the people whom buy this product

thats like the thing where you ask 6 questions to somebody that equal 6 then you get them to repeat the number 6 over and over again as fast as they can then you straight away ask them to name a vegetable the most common answer is carrot 99 percent out of 100 say carrot me i said eggplant

Just because there are idiots who buy from this site doesnt make it right! The poor birds must end up with their rear end feathers caked in poop, and what about the stress to the bird whilst putting the diaper on and off them. Dont some people realise owning any sort of animal involves cleaning up after them. If you dont want to be responsible and take on animal care dont own an animal or bird. Sorry for the rant but things like this make me angry. An animal/bird is just that you shouldnt try to humanize them. Phew glad to have got that off my chest feel better fot that now. I totally agree with you Bruciesmum. When i first saw bird diapers advertised on ebay, i thought they were incredibly cruel. When i saw this website it made me upset. Secondly, they sell leads and harnesses. To tether a bird in Australia, is illegal. Don't get me started on the outfits. well i disagree with the nappy but its not illegal to harness a bird in Australia however its illegal to chain one i have a harness for my cocky and it gets her in and out of the cage and to the house also i can work in garden with her safly on my sholder or walk around yard with her its a soft harness and very compatible for her and personally i prefer that than to clip her wings

FOUR :grouphug: They wouldn't all be hens though eh....cos Omelette is cinnamon and he is split oh forgot she was cin

Clicking sound is not normal for breathing. I suggest a warm lamp by the cage and vet tomorrow. clicking can b a sign of lace of vitamin a and need for more sunshine but i agree with kaz vet as could be a respiratory problem vet will always be needed then to determine what kind

i love it :grouphug:

Thanks I am glad I joined this forum ... It's very helpful. just a tip breeding birds for money unless you over breed your birds or have so many its ridiculous then its not worth the money you would make or effort their is one way im looking into it that you could earn a steady income but not a big money maker just enough to still cover costs of seed and veg meds things like that oh kaz three cin chicks all hens got to be stoked with that
