Results from breeding an Opaline TCB Dark Green Cock and Opaline Grey Green Hen as follows. (Do not know if these birds are split or are hiding other varieties. I think the cock is split to blue). Results from first clutch, opaline sky blue cock, opaline light grey cock, opaline dark green cock, opaline TCB grey green hen, opaline TCB grey green hen. I need clarification regarding the two hens, see following pictures. Are they opaline TCB grey green hens? I am a bit confused with the wing markings of chick 2 (second picture). Is it also a spangle or something else? Do TCB's have clear tails? Or are the wing markings a result of opaline? Thank you in advance for advice. Current Pictures

Thanks Nadene. I am also new to mutations, a lot to learn.

Current Pictures Dad TCB Dark Green Chick 1 TCB Grey Green Chick 2 TCB Grey Green Do the the wing markings on chick 1 indicate another mutation as well?

Dad & Mum Chick 1 Chick 2 Thanks Kaz

Thanks Rachelm I have copy and paste the photobucket img code. Is this the correct procedure?

Great looking bird Nadene. Is it a dom pied grey green, hen?

Did this work?

Thanks Robyn, what is the title of post?

That's interesting and confusing. Thanks Budgie Lov. Hoping to get some feedback on the yellows. I am totally baffled as to what mutations they are.

[/img]Mum & Dad[/img]Possibly hens, mutation unknown [/img][/img] Siblings, Cocks. I hope this works. Thanks. Did not work!!

Can someone help identify dad and the two yellow chicks. I originally thought dad was a texas clearbody and maybe a dominant or clearflighted pied. After breeding him to a opaline grey green hen and the following offspring, I am probably wrong. Can someone please identify the type of mutation for dad and two yellows.

Hi Nowbudgie, do you still have Male Normal Grey budgies, split to recessive for sale?

Thanks for advice Robyn. I will leave them in there for another week at least. If it gets dangerous for them i will remove sooner to kindy cage. They are free with dad and mum in aviary. This part of aviary consists of mum & dad (started new clutch) and 4 babies from first clutch. No other birds in this aviary. Size of this avairy is 1.2m x 1.2m. Height is 1.8m. "Luxury" status. l.o.l.

All chicks have left the nest and mum seems happy with this. She has started to sit on two new eggs and is not as aggressive as before. The dad occasionally feeds the chicks, he seems more interested in the nest box and mating. I decided not to remove chicks as yet. When is it the right time to remove the chicks from the parents? How do i know they are feeding themselves? At what age can they fend for themselves? The oldest chicked hatched on the 19th March. There are four chicks in total. Thanks

Thanks for the advice Nadine, I will move them first thing in the morning. The chicks are beautiful. Three opaline light blue/dilute greywing hens and my favourite, normal cobalt cock with a white spot on his head. The hens are identical, same as father. The mother is a recessive pied, light blue. All chicks are split to recessive pied and greywing. I think this is right??

Hi All I have four chicks that are now five weeks old. Two have left the nestbox and the two youngest have remained in nestbox. The hen has layed an egg in the original nestbox and is investigating and showing interest in another two boxes in the aviary. The aviary only has this breeding pair and their four chicks. The hen is showing aggression towards all the chicks, and the cock is only showing interest in mating. I am concerned about the safety of all chicks. I am hesitant in removing the chicks from the aviary and placing them in nursery. The reasons for hesitating is i am afraid they will not be able to feed themselves, in particular the two youngest. What should i do?? Please help. This is my first attempt in breeding in over 20 years. Thanks Nick123
