okay i know what it is but i dont know how to treat it mycplma is its name its a bacteria sorry i cant be any more help you need to treat chicks and parents though for them to get better if you do the second clutch should be fine do not foster chicks to this nest

okay more pics last chick was rung today yep you guessed it 3665 mums decided to pluck down i think shes getting protective of me looking into much she should stop at down but i will watch her first chick today second chick third chick didnt want picture today lol out of five pics this best one i gave up lol fourth chick mum telling me to p.o my times up not real good but mum huddling chicks all back under her the oldest chick is only 11 days into life

well apart from the fact i had one just like him his lines are actually blue not grey would i be right hes not grey wing hes opaline cobalt you can also tell hes double dom from where the cut off to his head strips are theirs the faintest tiniest few lines past the cheek stripping not sure if you can see it but i can not very good pics so cant be positive but bet you get opaline hens i also say he would be split rec pied but thats just as one eyes normal one ringed the golden face sky blue hen does she have all mint green markings or does she have blue (sky)visible on rump

that hens very nice i like her better than the one you got sent in first place she will do you good great pick up what a prize lovely mate congrads

Those interesting flight feathers you mentioned......is it because of the dark edge ? If so................all these chicks have the same look im not sure but i would say its as the colour of each bird is on the feather intill it gets to the dark points you can see do i make sence normal birds would have just plain black all along

can i ask you are the chicks a scarlet red colour rather than a nice pink ????? the lutes i mean

well i dont know but my albinos they been very slow starters very weak chicks and so small but i let nature take course and with 7 eggs three 3 hatched on with help and two were not strong enough to get out and died on way very sad 2 of the three that hatched selfs were so small and very weak but all chicks grew rather large infact some my best chicks to date albinos and lutinos do take up to two years to really come to their potential size as do lacewings keep it in mind

so no pics today as rained all day till this arvo where i had to go out for trip so but rang third chick today ring 3664 and will need to ring fourth chick tomorrow as their feet are so stumpy i think the first chick is defenently from my grey dom pied cock and cin hen as its feet are thiner and legs much longer not concistent with other chicks but still will need to see also being opaline and the dom pied grey cock is opaline so unless my skyviolet is split opaline whick murphys law states he will be lol if not though ive found my chick yeppy woo hoo id be extatic if it is the pairing was one my best pairs i have but the storm scarred allbirds from nest but that egg was just laid so i fostered it (stupid didnt mark it as thought all chicks would be greay one thing is all the chicks from the cinn and sky have to be sky or light green so and the other pair could be cobalt or grey or ....gr...skyblue lol oh well its a hen so its staying here regardless :glare:

i can not actually say what i think he should be called on here but Sasquatch is another name that comes to mind as in yetty ,bigfoot so on the first thing that came to mind was $%$^ me not something you could actually call a bird maybe Arnold

im no guro but that df dom is opaline i bet :glare:

if you were smart priceless if you get my drift

im confuzzed are their two yellow birds as lacewings have pink eyes if the yellow bird has black eyes yet is cinnamon well i be honest i have noclue my guess is though a very bad suffused black eye clear ???

yes i would send one to clearwing also hes also been in birds for ever and can point you in right direction as to pairings and mateings needed to be done to double up the mutated gene if at all one is present

the chick will be double factor yf if not showing a yellow face which means that when you breed him or her that if paired to a white faced bird all chicks will be yf of one type or the other you pics are so beautiful im loving this thread beautiful defenently a opaline chick by way

yes but you need the brothers and sisters also to truley find out if its a new mutation

DONT SELL ANY CHICKS OR MUM AND DAD AND TALK TO CLEARWING OR RIP IF ITS NEW MUTATION YOU HAVE SOME FUNN AHEAD OF YOU FINDING THIS OUT AND LOTS OF EXPERIMENTAL BREEDING TO BRING OUT THE GENETIC THATS HIDDIN TO REZULT IN THIS GREEN TAIL IF ITS NOT ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS I HAD A BIRD THAT HAD WHITE FACED CHICKS THATAFTER FIRST MOULT CHANGED YELLOW I WAS TOLD BY BREEDER FROM CLUB NOT TO SELL OR GET RID OF ANY CHICKS BUT AS I WAS NOT BOTHERED ABOUT FINDING A NEW MUTATION I PASSED THE JOB ON TO SOMEONE ELSE TO HAVE FUN WITH

hi thanks for looking, i have not been able to do an eye check yet, tommorrow i will, unfortunately daylight savings ended!!! very sad, so i leave in the dark, and come home in the dark! i will post what i find. also i had a look at your link, your birds are stunning! i dont know you show guys do it! thank you but i must admit i have not breed many birds myself show type im just starting out i have so much to learn about pairing for a good outcome but im detumin and i know i will achive it its keeping the quality thats the hard bit something im yet to experiance

you will enjoy every moment it truly is fantastic and something to look forward to in the mornings to wake up to i love to hear the cheeps as they call for food from now on in they grow pretty fast birds were ringed bcv 3662 and 3663 i am yet to get coded rings

today first chick the clutch tonight ringing the first and second chick first chick genitally get his leg and turn him over (although i think he is a she ) in your hand clasp the chick between fingers and pull leg in close to body so not to dislicate or inger if chick trys to sqwerm slide ring down the three toes then grab toes and pull down over back fourth toe claw being carful not to brak or injer done and number two dad still watching me

well i took more pics today after cleaning the cabinets out these chicks are going to be quiet nice from the look of their stumpy little feet will up load and post soon

very cute

okay so i dont have any real before and afters as in 6 weeks then 6months but i have 4 weeks then 2 months as havent breed show long enough but got some pet pics before and after i will find tomorrow first though my show type albino chick here is my albino hen 4 weeks and at 2 months i have three others the same but they all look the same so i wont post them all and yf grey hen 5 weeks old now two months

or you could put her to the mauve boy and get split grey wing cocks and hens then change partners to another normal id say cobalt if possable keep that dark factor happening and get another lot of split greywing chicks then next year you can pair these half brother sisters and get greywing and normal chicks and all would be very pretty as mauve x mauve = mauve add the yf and half will be yf mauve f or mauve normals add the grey wing factor and you will get yf greywings in mauve and yf mauves in normal and normal mauves all her chicks will be split to grey wing always as its a rececive gene with a cobalt you will get maves and cobalt chicks same story as above

your birds are beautiful i think you have either a lacewing yellow hen as the tail feather has a cinnamon (brown)strip down middle of it this is if her eyes are red could be a cinnamon lutino if cheek patches are white as ino does not mask cinnamon everything but .. if they are black then i think you have a cinnamon yellow bird possibly a df spangle but im not sure she is so mabe a dark eyed clear but i did think they were ment to have clear wings not sure beautiful birds what ever their variety

okay here they are two days ago the clutch today oldest stuffed full of food second chick third chick and introducing the littlest chick number four dad watching me dad telling me its time to go me talking to him saying its okay daddy ill go now thank you for letting me take pics lol it may sound silly but they listen and they do tell you when enoughs enough and i listen as chicks may get to cold dad and mum knows best so ..their in charge dad counting chicks are all their so eyes are open on the first and second chick i also had a chick born easter day while i was not home i think mum is happy with the 4 she has and mustn't have herd it calling for food i found it dead when i got home mabe if i was home before dark i could have saved by fostering it but i fostered remanding chicks so... fingers crossed hope you enjoyed pics
