AAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!(and background music too, how classy can one get). :beer:

how cute is that

We have new babies too. The pair Rocky (mauve cinnamon) and Bunty (DF violet) have a third baby. Baby number one is fine but they lost baby no 2 (albino) and now baby number three has arrived. This other pair have two babies...a new one arrived earlier today

Another pair I havent photos of have a newborn too. Their first newborn is in with another mother as it went too long without its first feeding. They ARE feeding baby number two. First baby being fed and looked after by my cinnamon lone mother. She has two adopted babies.

Saturn and Pluto have been put in the holiday camp aviary as they started to neglect their babies. Their pied babies are in with Ty and Di's family and being well fed.

Sounds like your newest babes are doing fine, that's great! As for Charlie.........I get vibes from him, please get him a great home, still wish I could have him. :ausb:

Four puppies left at home. Charlie and Oscar still to find new homes. I will take some pikkies of Charlie for you Phoebe. We actually had the mother CRICKET at the vets today. She has lost the function of her pancreas to produce the enzymes to digest properly. She passes everything she eats straight through, and her droppings were almost pure fat. She had an oily coating to her rear end and greasiness to the feathering on her legs and has dropped 1 kilo in weight over a fortnight. Her condition is Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency and she must be on an artificial enzyme product to be added to her food for the rest of her life. The vet says it is common in German Shepherds and some other breeds and seems to have no real cause. They are noticing that it occurs through the summer months and may be allergy related. He says its manageable but she now has it for the rest of her life much like diabtetes is. We collect her medicine tomorrow and that is sprinkled on her food every meal, given a few minutes to activate and then she can eat. Cricket is now a gold plated dog as she has cost us around $2000 over some weeks....but she is worth every cent

now what mutation is crystle? and sophie?

Crystal is an opaline spangle, the blue I am not sure of as she is somewhere between a skyblue and a cobalt colour. Sophie is a dominant pied :bluebudgie:

Cystal is such a sweetie and Vixen what a gorgeous violet he is.

They all are looking awesome.

We have new babies today.

We now have three babies to Bunty (DF Violet hen) and Rocky (mauve cinnamon) one baby has plum coloured eyes.

Three babies now to Jazz (dilute grey spangle) and Bono Sky (opaline pied spangle) one with plum coloured eyes

jerry is stunning

love vixen and sophie to

I'm guessing Kaya's baby (it looks like Cinnamon wings). Then again, Prince split for Cinnamon (so the baby would be a girl).

 

I've forgotten how spangle works... If both parents are spangle, wouldn't they only get spangle babies (and DF spangle)?? IF that's the case then it's obviously not Prince and Maceys. :glare:

 

Just my two cents.. I just woke up, so my brain cells aren't working yet... :fear

Dont think so. Cos with Swift and Rocket who are both spangles we got a normal plus recessive and a fallow spangle as well as spangles. With Jonas and Melon who are both spangles we got a greywing and a normal as well as spangles.

there is still a small chance of a baby from two spangles getting both the normal genes from the parents.

 

Karen can you remind me of Kaya's partner and if she has ever had blue babies before?

 

The bub look like a blue opaline and could be cinnamon.

Kayas other half is Sonny who is a YF2 spangle and yes they have had blue babies before, Markings on this chick look cinnamon to me too.

I didn't think two spangles produce only spangle babies. I got it confused with double spangles pair.

 

well Karen, I think we might have problem deciding which chick belongs to which parents.
