Hi everyone,We have been breeding Budgies for a while, We have a flock of about 60 Budgies and have been following this site for about 18 months now, we have never posted before, but have learned soooooo much during that time
Anyway I figure it's about time I said hi and asked for some help with identifying the mutation of this chick.
It came from a nest of only two chicks, with it's sibling being a Dark Green Dom Pied.
Here's Dad. Tex, our gorgeous TCB Cock
and Mum Miranda, a Dk Green Cinnamon Dom Pied
(i know this isn't an ideal match, but we breed for happy healthy pets, not show. We plan to put Tex with a Lutino Hen, once she's old enough but for now these two are in love )
Here's the Chick, who I think to be a hen (she's 4 and a half weeks old)
She's a lovely little chick and very different to her nest mate (a cock) and anything we have bred before.
She doesn't appear to be cinnamon (pale markings, but dark in colour), No body colour, except for the Limey TCB colour on Rump, white cheek patches, Dark Eyes.We were hoping for a TCB Chick, but know she's something different to this .
I'd really appreciate you thoughts (and corrections) from the experts on what she is (including if I'm wrong on sex)
We don't know the history of Mum and Dad. they are currently on 3 eggs and still laying in their second round, so keen to know what will get this time around.
Thanks All!!!!! :hi: looking forward to your comments..
