2nd baby hatched today....an ino

3rd baby hatched. Looks like another ino.

 

 

 

So...how does ino work again ? I KNOW that Mars Dad was split ino. Does that come into it ?

Yes that comes into it. Seems Mars got the gene past on from his dad.

 

The ino's will be hens in this case.

white or yellow ?

That just depends if they get the YF gene or not.

Something weird happened in the nestbox. Third chick went "missing" and the last egg looked part eaten. I dont think the parents were to blame. Looks like a maybe mouse got in ? :dbb1:

 

Here in the two remaining chicks

Eldest (started out with plum eyes )

Second chick ( an ino )

 

and "group hug " :ausb:

I hope the chicks left go well.

 

 

Feathers.

Sorry to hear about your losses, is that one of the cats from the Uncles place, in your Avatar, better get it after the mice, as it doesn’t seem like its got much constructive to do. Some of those b***** toilet rolls can do that without the help of a cat…(Laughing out loud)…

 

I hope these two are okay if it is a mouse! Great shots.

Eldest chick appears to be a Double Factor Yellow spangle ? Ino chick yet to feather.

Awwww such cute little pink babies!!!!!

you have them in a breeding box right Kaz, do you think a mouse could get in there?

Yes. Mice can get through aviary mesh into the birdroom where the breeding boxes are. The breeding cabinets have normal spacing bars for cage fronts just like cages are made from and mice can get in through those if they want. When the new birdroom is done it should be mouseproof. I have poison and traps set in thw birdroom, but sometimes the mice are smarter than that :bluebudgie:

Lutino ? No not sure. All I know is yellow pins. So YES maybe YF ino

I'm still seeing paler feathers on the head than the ones in the mask area on the DF. and the Red eye bubs looks to have paler wings than it's sibling..... and now you'll tell me that's from the flash :(Laughing out loud):
