Great news today my first ever attempt of cabinet breeding a show size pair seems to be going extremly well... after a couple of weeks in the new cabinets the pair have bonded and sometime this afternoon my big girl (yf1 violet hen) laid her first egg... she's only just hitting the 12 month mark now so shall be watched like a hawk! her partner big blue (normal blue cock) seems like he will be a wonderful daddy... feeding her and eating as many greens as he possibly can we're hoping all goes well for this pair and will keep you up to date

 

here's a few pics for you all

 

A beautiful pair Best of luck with your breeding.

All the best.

The parents are gorgeous.

I hope it goes really well, good luck .

After their first eggs were fostered, but DIS this pair were allowed to re-lay... They laid 6 in total, 5 in the nest and 1 out the nest, which cracked... As of today we have 3 Babies!!!!! they're absoloutly gorgeous, the mother is feeding them well and hasn't messed up once yet, which we're really proud of with her being a new mum and all
