    hope to join my local club soon , been to there last four annual shows. all looks to be very serious as it was in my old club 25 years ago. the competion between local club members is always high here as there are more than a couple of top nsw breeders . so its a bit easier to stay out of showing for now and just relearn the ropes and breed a few birds make a few new friends. but would be starting as a novice so not to much pressure
  9. we could probably say its a opaline rec yellow faced blue as its also got a fair bit of blue lower on its body. its dad is a dark green rec split opaline and also from a yellowface blue back ground. the mums also a cin wing voilet rec. so could get anything out of that pairing
  10. hey GB think it a hen ? , both parents are rec so all chicks will be rec and doesnt that also mean that the chicks that are hens will be heavily marked
  11. another nice rec violet chick dark green rec/opaline hen?

  22. hi kaz , last time she stayed paired up for 5 weeks with no eggs but seem to return to normal a couple weeks after being returned to stock cage
  23. just after a little help with checking the difference between a hen that could be eggbound or a internal layer, has been paired up now for three weeks in a breeding cabinet. looking very large around the vent for a week now but has not layed . same thing happened last time she was paired up 6mths ago and didnt lay then. she is 3yrs old and has been feed cod-liver oiled seed for 2mths.
