Well I am still not out of it yet. I still need to get the final inspection for the building permit. But I have 18 months to do it. Until then the Aviary is going to be here.

Here is some information for you. Ringing a Chick - PDF

Why play with nature... Let the parents feed them.

Well an unexpected inspection from the Council through the week. They just arrive unanouced to inspect the birds for my annual permit. I like that idea as it catches those not doing the right thing. They don't have a chance to get the sick birds out and "pritty" the set up. I have been given the highest mark in the shire for cleanliness and health management. I have been told that my aviary rates either in the highest quality or the highest quality aviary in the shire :fear. I have a full 12months permit for the birds and he looks forward to returning next year to see how things are going.

Hi Splat, I am glad the vet is in control and that the Chemist is helping too. I hope it is only a case of Cocci and that the birds respond. I'll keep an eye on this topic. All the best.

Kaz Why don't you do a blog on it and we can keep an eye on the contructions. :dbb1:

Splat, This is terrible news. You have all my support. This is one of the bad side of what we do. It takes a strong person to be a breeder, especially a show breeder. There are many down falls to this hobbie and just when you think you are getting through it some thing else hits you. But this is what formes the stronge bond between Show Breeders, this is what gives us the strength is knowing that we can rely on other breeders to help us because they have also been through this. It a pity we are so far apart.

Any size can be rung but the pet birds are rung a little later that the show birds. Do to size. Elly it's the Grey green that adds size to a green. Pairing to light green all the time can reduce size.

Are they on the Fungalin or some thing else?

Ah me mate Poka.. Well done my son.

Clear bodies should be paired to Lutinos to bring the flights back to neutral.

What about a white winged Light green?

Just unraveling him for a class. His class is the Dominant Pied Class. He would be considered as a Dominant Pied, Yellowface Opaline Skyblue Cock. It would be good to see him stand. Mask: Good. You could get some acceptable spots out of that. I would be pairing him to a normal hen to see if you could unravel him.

Of course you can have a Dominant and recessive genes in the same bird. A dominant will be split for recessive If you pair a Clearflight to a recessive you get a Clear Flight/recessive. Pair a Clearflight/recessive to a recessive and you get 25% DEC

I hope that he can get to the bottom of it quickly for you.

Hi Spalt shouldn't be sour crop that is a problem the chicks get before weening. If he is April hatched he would be 3 to 4 months old. Have you had a chance to talk to a vet about the problems you are having?

Most of all let the parents do the work.

There is a moulting Aide that Vetafarm does. I think you can get it in England under another brand.

If the Spangle is the cock and the Opaline is the hen. 25% Cock - Cobalt, (SF) Spangle, Split Opaline 25% Cock - Cobalt, (SF) Spangle, (SF) Pied (Dutch), Split Opaline 25% Hen - Cobalt, (SF) Spangle 25% Hen - Cobalt, (SF) Spangle, (SF) Pied (Dutch) If the Spangle is the hen and the Opaline is the Cock 25% Cock - Cobalt, (SF) Spangle, Split Opaline 25% Cock - Cobalt, (SF) Spangle, (SF) Pied (Dutch), Split Opaline 25% Hen - Cobalt, Opaline, (SF) Spangle 25% Hen - Cobalt, Opaline, (SF) Spangle, (SF) Pied (Dutch)

Well done, now just let the parent look after them. It might pay to feed a bit more protein now.

Black beaks are supposed to be good. Don't ask me why but all my chicks with black beaks mature quite nicely.

Hi Splat How are they going to day. Information on Mega
