Any breeder can choose where they want their numbers to start Shannon.............are these the chicks you are talking about ? to these parents ? yes WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN THE BOXES DIRT? THEY LOOK REALLY DIRTY. BECAREFUL THAT THEY DONT BECOME A WET BOX.

the yellow face blue cock is a good bird, any reason why you dont have him down breeding?

Have you got anything out of them yet?

How much did you pay for 1, 2 and 6

What is your aviary like? I have an inclosed setup and have it insulated, have an air con unit which i run for any days that shall be hotter than 30 to try and keep the area at 24 degrees. On the really hot day we had in sydney which was 43 it got up to 31 degress in there, but when i put the watering system that i have on the roof to, it went back down to about 27. Go to bunnings and get one of those green sprinklers that spirt out water along it. You shall notice a massive difference in the temp. you need to keep it running all day to keep the avery as cool as possible.

I dont totally agree with this. I have bought 100+ birds in the last 3 months from all different breeders. All open class breeders except 1 or 2. I didnt quarantine any of these birds and have not lost one bird. All of the birds are all down on eggs, breeding and are all very active and healthy. if you buy from breeders who look after there birds you shouldnt have too much problem. My birds are kept in a very clean environment to ensure they are kept healthy as possible.

in these instances if you have pairs that you just use as foster parents it is a great idea to use them in these cases so the birds dont get worn out!

i can take pics but they dont do the bird justice in a breeding cabinet as i use the wire cabinets, and it is also such a long process to process pics on this website. I shall however over time, get a website or a page which shall have links to my birds, as im wanting to have all of my birds on record to have a picture attached to them. this cock is certainly a modern cock, as another open breeder was there at the sametime i was and he commented on the bird i had in my show cage. ( not saying im an open breeder, that the person selling the birds was an open breeder). Best photos are done by pulling them from their cage for a few mins and putting them in show cage for a photo. Especially good for your records too. Too much effort at present as i have 40 cabinets set up.

thanks. she is a cracker of a dominant pieds, just lacks some length.

has he won many shows? is he an open breeder?

i think the the uk they are alright to breed when they are real old due to the temperatures. im going to keep on breeding these cock birds until they dont fill eggs anymore. they are too good to not get as many young as possibly especially as they are Gazzard birds.

Whos ring is GG2?

Has anyone been to a breeders place before and spotted out some great birds only yo find out that they are really old? Well i took the plunge and bought 2 real quality cocks that were both red ringers ( not this years birds ), and they have filled eggs for me. Cant wait to see the result of the babies. You cant complain when the breeders let these birds go really cheap to as they shall they cant guarantee that they shall fill the eggs due to there age. These 2 cock birds are both Gazzard birds.

Thats great to know I managed to get a few sachets from my local fodder store. They will do for now, ( i want David's new hen to have them) and i will look at getting a more cost effective way soon. $43 is a great price, especially for 200g and i may just get some from you if i cant get any locally :bump: Whats the product called?
