okay, here they are.....

Baby #1 - yf

Baby #2

Baby #3

 

Any opinions on colour so far? I am betting baby 1 is a hen, if for nothing else, but for the same way she squawks like her mother does lol

So *cough* any ideas on the colourings of these babies? (Now that I posted pics )

Bub one and 2 look like spangles and 3 looks like a normal.

bub number 1 looks like it will be a yellow face too - I cant see any colour so looks like they are all greys

Very cute babies

Thanks Liv

Normals cant be split for spangles as such can they? A normal is just a normal in this case??

I agree with Liv. And NO they cannot be split for spangle as spangle is a dominant gene. They are either a spangle or NOT

Yay.....it would be nice to have some normals for a change LOL

 

Thanks

Some more updated pics.

I wanted to post this mostly to ask about the blue baby! I was really surprised yesterday when I was showing my fiance the babies and he pointed out the blue on the youngest! I thought two greys should only have greys? Anyway, your opinions on the blue baby would be much appreciated. I added updated pics of the other two just to show their development

Baby 1 - YF Grey spangle (hen?) Sorry the back shot of this one is blurry, but Im sure you get the idea

Baby 2 - Grey spangle (hen?)

I know the leg ring is poopy I did scrape some of it off AFTER the picture- doh lol

Baby 3 - Sky blue spangle? (hen?)

Awww, they are very cute!!!

Looking good Sunnie...yes you can get a Sky Blue from Grey, as you have found out, but Grey is pretty Dominant, so will probably get more Greys. Good wing pattern on those Spangles.

Sweet for more ways then one, In the Baby , Baby pics i thought they were all spangles YAY!!! I was right ..

 

They are gorgeous :wub:

Just thought I would update the pics again

Baby 1

Baby 2

Baby 3 (was a wiggle worm and hard to get a picture of)

Beautiful chicks Sunnie

Sunny thet are simply stunning, congrats on these little treasures!!!

Awww

they are adorable

I think chicks 1 & 2 are boys and chick 3 is a hen (just a guess though)

Thank you

My guess on sex (on personality) is 1 hen, 2 cock, 3 hen. Baby 1 is the spitting image of her mum and screams just like she does lol

WOW what beautiful chicks, there is just something about the spangle marking especially when it is defined that really makes these birds looks gorgeous, well done.

WoW :what: Those marking are fantastic!!

 

Baby 3 is the one to watch

 

Sexing i can't tell when they are black beaks heck i can't tell while they are in the nest haha

So I am guessing that Baby 3 is a hen as it's cere is the one i can see under the black ...

 

Good luck with these gorgeous babies

My breeding room window faces onto the back yard and I often "spy" on my birds from outside when I am walking past, cause I find it a good way to check on their behaviour etc without them being interrupted and knowing I am there. Anyway, I had camera in hand and had to take a picture of blue baby being adventurous on the little ladder I put in there. Darius is preening behind the water feeder, Grace is perched, baby 1 is in the corner napping, baby 2 is foraging and baby 3 is finding out about the world of climbing :question:

Awww :question: How cute! :what:

Just another updated picture of this family. Mum was up on a perch, so she wasnt in the picture, but this is dad and babies enjoying their breakfast this morning. The little blue girl in front is such a character. Whenever you put your hand in the cage, she rushes over fearlessly and tries to bite you. She doesnt bite hard, being only a baby. So then I start to scratch under her chin and around her head and she leans into the scratching like a cat would. Its so cute

Aww, what a cute photo

they are very cute - I love spangles so that is even better.

The family have been in the aviary for about a week now. I have been putting the babies out during the day and bringing them in at night, but the nights are warming, so they are staying out tonight. I got home from and did the rounds to check everyone is okay, and had to snap this shot. It's not exceptional, but I thought it was cute cause the whole family were all settling down for the night on one perch all together. The flash spooked the grey baby and he moved to another perch so in the 2nd shot its just the four of them, but I had to to to the other side so I could get my sky blue Lil Miss Fiesty in the picture as well

 

Baby grey, mum, dad, baby yf, Miss Fiesty
