Posted February 14, 200817 yr Hi Everyone, Well I thought that I would post a couple of photo's of some new chicks. They are from a clutch of 4, but these are my favourites. The Aust pied boy is a really nice chick and very friendly too! I hope you enjoy them Sandy Front and rear views of the Aust pied. http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q38/jig.../1002080131.jpg And the opaline hen chick. This is a full brother from the previous clutch.... Edited February 14, 200817 yr by Elly the 2nd picture is over the board regulations of 450x450 so it has been turned into a link, thank you for your understanding
February 14, 200817 yr All very nice chicks and the little violet boy hiding in this photo Is a stunning violet too Often the violet doesnt show well on photos, but it is very strong here.
February 15, 200817 yr Very pretty budgies, I especially love the little violet one in the background of the last picture .
February 15, 200817 yr And the opaline hen chick. This is a full brother from the previous clutch.... Absolutely stunning, love these 2.
February 15, 200817 yr They are very beautiful chicks! Their colours are just devine . You must be very proud.
February 15, 200817 yr Author Thanks everyone, I am really proud of what we're producing. The little pale skyblue pied boy is soooo friendly too, he'll come and sit on your shoulder when you go into the avairy..... I've had 2 violet babies and they are both really strong colors... This is the strongest colored one.... I can't wait to see what it's color will be like after it's first moult! Now we just have to sell some... The avairies aren't big enough and I've got 4 more chicks ready to come out of the nest! Just a quick question..... I only have the one pair together now and their chicks are nearly out of the nest, everyone else is in communal avairies with no breeding boxes. Should I stop any and all breeding now until after winter? It can get really cold here, our horses water trophs have ice tops in the mornings..... and I'd hate to have chicks freeze overnight.... Thanks Sandy

Thanks Sandy Might be a good idea. A lot of tiny chicks die from breeding through winter.
