March 16, 200817 yr Author Looking good Kaz, but no sign in the picture of the lacewing markings. Chucked out my Lacewings eggs yesterday, [infertile] my show breeder friend gave me some fertile eggs & three chicks yesterday, as he is going away & couldn’t look after them, they are from some good birds he bough this year from a big breeder.What kind of chicks and eggs Norm ?I dunno the difference between opaline or normal but those two are two of the best lookng budgies I've ever seen. I can't wait to see what their chicks turn out like.You seem to have a liking for lacewings JimmyBanks....you had better make sure you get yourself some
March 16, 200817 yr Love them, I do. Get some, I shall. Sorry had a yoda moment. I really do wanna get some lacewings they are just amazing. I've had a good look at the different types and these jump out at me... so in a perfect world my first 2 will be lacewing or lacewing and maybe a lutino or albino... thats in a perfect world.
March 17, 200817 yr Kaz, two chicks already hatched from one batch of eggs, they are Cinnamons good show stock...the three other chicks, one has already been rung & maybe one more eggs hatched...sadly I can't rember what mutation he said they were...supposed to be big birds, will have to wait & see.
March 17, 200817 yr Kaz, How adorable! picture one: "Mum, is it nice out there? picture Two: Looks up at mum and awaits an answer picture three: [thinks] "maybe I should just sneak out and check for myself" I am a sucker for photos with a chick looking out a nestbox hole. Feathers.

Feathers. Mum was inside feeding the others. This little one was eyeballing its dad Real cute when they hang their head out of nestbox holes
March 17, 200817 yr Adorable photos... I love peeking baby - i will drop by in a few weeks to take that one home
March 17, 200817 yr Author Adorable photos... I love peeking baby - i will drop by in a few weeks to take that one home okay
March 17, 200817 yr Author As hard as it is to sex lacewings ( like lutinos and albinos ) I believe there is 4 hens and one cock ....if not all hens in that nest.
March 17, 200817 yr Author the peeking baby looks just like dad and looks like a boy too My thoughts exactly........looks like the eldest three are hens and the youngest ( 5th ) also is a hen. The baby peeking out is baby number four.
March 17, 200817 yr Kaz they are absolutely stunning! I so wish I lived closer to you,although my husband thinks we live at a safe distance.(Laughing out loud) Far away enough so I can't buy the budgies I love. hehehehe Little does he know that there a few over this way close by. Have you worked out if they are opaline or narmal yet? Thanks for sharing,I miss my budgies
March 17, 200817 yr More lacewing pics The new cock bird only 5 mths old "> And going through his first molt. The lacewing hen "> "> And the wing pattern these are opaline lacewings. I had a brain fade for a while but lacewings are no different to any other variety. Normal or Opaline Spangles or Normal or Opaline Dom Pieds Normal or opaline crests etc
March 18, 200817 yr Author Nice pictures Throwback. I think the Dad of mine is opaline and the hen is not.
March 18, 200817 yr Author So far the third chick ( 2nd from left ) has the best and darkest markings also the youngest seems to have dark markings coming in
March 18, 200817 yr awww... can't wait to see their markings come out. Just had someone at work ask me.. do red eyed birds live as long as black eyeds?
March 18, 200817 yr Author awww... can't wait to see their markings come out. Just had someone at work ask me.. do red eyed birds live as long as black eyeds? Colour of eyes have no bearing on longevity of a bird. Do blue eyed people live as long as brown eyed people ?

Colour of eyes have no bearing on longevity of a bird. Do blue eyed people live as long as brown eyed people ? I'll do some research... :budgiedance: Thanks for the answer.
