Posted February 15, 200817 yr I have put together a pair of show types as recommended by the breeder I got them from. Had to wait until the boy got over his moult and felt "frisky" again. Here is the hen cock First egg laid yesterday and expecting the next one tomorrow. Hopefully all will be well with these two.
February 15, 200817 yr I know flecking is a fault but her head is so cute Kaz . I look forward to seeing the babies .
February 15, 200817 yr Author I know flecking is a fault but her head is so cute Kaz . I look forward to seeing the babies :fear. Hoping to get rid of some flecking in any babies as the dad is "clean capped" so here's hoping
February 15, 200817 yr yes fingers crossed, I remember back Daz said that you can get a clear cap from a flecked budgie.
February 15, 200817 yr Nice pair Kaz, yes you should get at least some without flecking. Any with flecking you don’t want you can send to me…(Laughing out loud).
February 15, 200817 yr Author Nice pair Kaz, yes you should get at least some without flecking. Any with flecking you don’t want you can send to me…LOL.
February 16, 200817 yr Nice pair Kaz... It is a real shame flecking is not desired!!! I love it . I can't wait to see the results. I hope their journey runs smoothly.
February 16, 200817 yr I think this will be a great pairing to help balance the faults.. both have some really nice features.. together should have some great chicks.
February 16, 200817 yr Looking good! I like the look of that pair will be gorgeous babies to come i think
February 16, 200817 yr Author Looking good! I like the look of that pair will be gorgeous babies to come i think I am just hoping the eggs are fertile
February 29, 200817 yr I have one hen with flecking but so far her two daughters are good birds with good directional feather and big spots. Just nead a bit more length in their mask. Can't wait for them to mature they are 7 months old & I have picked out one partner partner who is 8 months old August cant come soon enough for me. The second hen will be paired to my Darman cock who is in the breeding cage.
February 29, 200817 yr Five eggs so far. Hen is sitting. She is a very good girl, given the temperatures all week. Should get a couple of nice chicks here, Kaz... Feathers.
March 4, 200817 yr congrats on the eggs so far... any of them fertile yet, Kaz? I am looking forward to these chicks.
March 4, 200817 yr Author congrats on the eggs so far... any of them fertile yet, Kaz? I am looking forward to these chicks. I havent candled yet as I needed a new globe for the flexitorch. Will do it tomorrow
March 4, 200817 yr Author Very cool, you are sending me one of those babies too right I will parcel it up with all the rest of your budgie order PS is Nick Nack coming with you ....I will need more CAKE :hap:
March 23, 200817 yr Hi Kaz, Best of luck with the next round.... I seemed to have had my flexi torch 'misplaced' for me while I was away. It certainly isn't where it belongs, so I haven't candled any of mine lately either. Yours are a gorgeous pair and you've never had fertility issues with birds from that breerder... Feathers.
March 23, 200817 yr I was looking forward to this pairing! I think it is the best I have seen on here so far! A great Y/F opaline grey hen. Great width, plenty of spot. The flecking not an issue with his clean head. Sky blue normal, he has a deep mask looks like he blows his head, looks like a big bird. Pluck them bare Kaz! Big square perches, chick weed if you can get it, Spark in the water. Sorry! I'm getting carried away. You probably know all this! Edited March 24, 200817 yr by Elly took out swear word
