Some of my babies, this lot is from nest 14. Parents are Lt green spangle cock split cinn & grey spangle cinn hen.

Mother, I haven't got a picture of dad yet but he is the dad of the one in my signiture

This picture there are 5 babies, 3 eggs left to hatch, now I have 3 red eyes and 2 black

2 eggs have hatched 4 to go

 

This lot is from nest 12, parents are Lt green spangle cock and cobalt violet hen, there were 4 hatched but I lost a dark green normal at 15 days old.

The others are cobalt spangle, dark green normal and Lt green spangle

 

Dad this one is the full brother to my grey spangle cock that was murdered a couple of weeks ago by a horriable hen, This cock is the only blood line I have left so I am being really careful with him.

Babies

 

The same babies now

 

I will keep updating on the progress of these nest plus I have babies in 3 more nest.

At this stage I have rung 58 birds this year , seven have died and I have 12 little babies still to ring plus heaps of eggs waiting to hatch.

WOW they are stunning

 

I love the yellow face blue hens

 

I can't wait to see the babies and the outcomes.

can't wait to see the chicks when they get their feathers

I just went out and out a ring on the second eldest which is cinnamon, a bit disapointed as the 6th egg should of hatched yesterday but still hasn't, so it looks like it may not hatch at all.

Nice birds Splat, will be good to see how the young turn out

Very good job! That is alot of eggs

UPDATE::::More pics of the babies and another new nest

 

Nest 12. Cobalt spangle, dk green spangle I think, it's a toss up between lt and dk and Dr green normal.

 

Nest 14, no new bubs yet but these are a bit bigger, there is 5 babies in here, still has 3 eggs to hatch, which i don't think they all will.

 

This is a new nest, nest 11, there are 2 babies she has 3 eggs left but one is clear. Notice the egg shell around one egg, I forgot to take it out, that is what Kas metioned on another post how the egg shell can wrap around another egg, well it did here.

The parents of these babies are a sky blue split albino cock and a yellow face grey hen. I was hoping for a yellow face albino but so far they all have black eyes. RATS.

 

This is nest 5, she has 3 babies .

 

I hope you like my baby pics will keep updating as they come and get bigger

Wow found 5 new babies in different nest today, I nest hatched 2 today, I think that is because it should of hatched 2 days ago so might not of sat on them enough, there was 6 eggs in the nest.
