okay well here's an update for all those who wish to see the progress of my first try at show sized chicks...

All four are now fully frown and running amock in the aviary, enjoying their "youth"

 

- Phat tony (sky normal cock)

 

- The Fonz (cobalt violet Yf1 hen) even though she doesn't look it without flash you can see her faint white face forming

 

- Frodo the Fallow! Not sure on sex yet...

 

- And my absoloute favourite, Precious! (sky violet opaline hen)

 

- Precious' back, how's it looking ?

 

- Group shot without Phat tony... he was being a sook

 

The group, you can clearly see how Precious is a sky violet here compared to her sky normal brother Phat tony.... Can even see The Fonz' slightly yellow face

 

Let me know how you all think they turned out

WOW!!!!!

they all look great. well done

They are all beautiful, but I'm with you Precious is gorgeous

I'm not sure what's I'm meant to look for... but from my eyes... they look really good, and oh so cute

they are super sweet

Hiya Libby,

 

They all look absolutely fantastic. Are you planning to get into exhibiting? If so, I hate to say, but Precious currently has a major fault with the wing tips crossing, instead of 'meeting' over the tail feathers. They all look healthy and happy!

 

 

Feathers.

they have turned out very nice i especially like Precious

Nope, no showing for me anytime soon feathers

I just like the look of the buffier birds and wanted to try the parents to see what i got as they're both gorgeous in my eyes

Thanks for pointing that out about Precious, she doesn't generally hold her wings that way when on a perch, only when flat foot because she was on a towel... in the other pics on the shower rod with the rest of them u can see how she holds them

Gorgeous babies Lib! I have to agree, Precious is divine.......so you wont really be wanting Frodo then will you? I have sent a stamped envelope your way, just tuck him in and lick it! :)

You wish jelly fish :)!!! Frodo may have a little Sam, smeagel and Golem on the way to join him if his parents do well

Awww they have grown into lovely birds

You wish jelly fish !!! Frodo may have a little Sam, smeagel and Golem on the way to join him if his parents do well :rip:

 

:) I DO wish! And I will BE a jellyfish if that's what it takes! (Laughing out loud) I keep my fingers crossed for other little Frodos
