Baby 5 is a yf2 dom pied cock but batteries went flat again :)

 

Can you let me know if I am wrong, thanks guys

The last two that you think are spangles look like they are texas clearbodies Neat. I have had some chicks like that and they DO start out looking spangle sort of, but I think you have two texas clearbodies there. The one you think is a texas clearbody above, I think is a recessive pied :wub:

How can this be, I thought and have been told that you need 2 TCB genes to make TCB babies ?????

I have had TCB chicks in a nest with only one visual parent being TCB. I will post you some pictures of TCB chicks shortly as I have some the same as yours. BUT it is VERY EASY to mistake a TCB chick for a spangle in the early stages. I am positive your two chicks are TCB :wub:

I am also sure they're TCB :D all it takes is a Dad to be split to show them :D

They're all so cute! I have a new appreciation for TCB's after breeding my first two now :D

Oh well neat i guess you wont be getting rid of prince now then? Congratulations on your tcb's! I have dibs on your violet tcb- - yeah right as if you would get rid of him!!!

PM me you address so I can come and pick the little blue Hen up! :D

 

I get people like the spangles etc... but normal blues and normal greens just beat them every time!

Come get it AV !!!!! I'll be culling soon ...

 

Kaz, they look the same !!!, So maybe all this time it thought that they were spangles in my nest and they could have been TCB .... I will keep a close eye from now on

 

Thanks Guys :D

I used to make the same mistake Neat. The TCB chicks DO start out looking spangle and I have often thought spangle as they were feathering up. Its only when you see the variation through the wing and the flights being different colour that there shows a difference and TCB is what you discover :D

I would'nt be counting tbc,till they feather up & recessive in there its a mixed lot.

Sweet Baby's there Neat. Got any males you don't want ? I'll trade you for a seagul & some cake !

Your second bird looks like a recessive pied green, with some number of dark factors. I can't see properly. I don't see the opaline, though at all.

The one you think is a texas clearbody above, I think is a recessive pied ;)

Thas what I said already Sailorwolf :D

PS Glad you agree with me though :D
