September 21, 200816 yr Author Oh my golly golly gosh Kaz, they are some spectacular babies, I can only hope that one day soon I will be able to breed birds to the same standards as yours. These really are my first babies of this standard, so I too, am just starting out. Edited September 21, 200816 yr by KAZ
September 21, 200816 yr Author The hen from this pairing has been in the nest a lot the past 2-3 days. Today she laid her first egg of round two....a decent sized egg. Two chicks still in the nest but she is okay about them being there.
September 22, 200816 yr Author All chicks have been removed to the breeder cage floor in their icecream tub. Some are eating on their own  Â
September 22, 200816 yr LOL very cute! That last picture looks like the baby has fangs..... "I vant to suck your.....millet spray??"
September 22, 200816 yr Author Carrots ? What carrots ? I didnt eat the carrots...it was the others    wasn't me, Spunky....I only like the green stuff   Not me either...not sure if I like orange or green stuff yet Â

September 22, 200816 yr The chick on the left looks to have different looking wing markings somehow They look darker and more full. - very nice Â
September 22, 200816 yr Wow - Kaz I am totally in ore  Liv i think that is what i would call a PERFECT NORMAL
September 23, 200816 yr Author Carrots ? What carrots ? I didnt eat the carrots...it was the others   wasn't me, Spunky....I only like the green stuff   Not me either...not sure if I like orange or green stuff yet   This one SPUNKY ate so many carrots today it was perching by bedtime...must be all those vitamins. The adopted DF spangle sooks in the corner. The biggest green one gets around the cage like a prize fighter...reminds me of that cartoon rooster Foghorn Leghorn Third chick ( green ) is looking cute and has a sweet nature, youngest sibling in the foster nest is developing a lot of feather on top of its head.

September 23, 200816 yr What a cutie....hmm a contest maybe? The "messest face contest" have to tell Neat
September 24, 200816 yr I understand the sooking in the corner. Must be tough when you are surrounded by such beautiful birds that you realise you are not in the looks competition. Not sooking, self confidence issues - LOL!! Â Foghorn is a great name for a bird kaz. I always prefer personality names. Â Is the fostered chick , the youngest green, an opaline?

Not sooking, self confidence issues - LOL!! Foghorn is a great name for a bird kaz. I always prefer personality names.  Is the fostered chick , the youngest green, an opaline? FOGHORN suits that one The youngest is an opaline green ...Yes
September 24, 200816 yr Messy face coming yes for sure !!!!  Kaz I have noticed that they are all black beaked! Can really see why but their coloring in their feathers - and if it is true that they show black for good genes as well - this could be it  They are looking nice and nicer each time i see those picture
September 24, 200816 yr Author Fingers crossed Neat. Will put a couple of them in the unbroken cap show ( nestfeathers ) on the 4th if they can perch ( two are already ).....just to see how they stack up against others. All babies eating on their own except for SOOK the adopted DF Yellow Spangle. Their mother has two eggs and dad is spending all the time in the nestbox with her just like last time.
September 24, 200816 yr OOOOO Good luck mate!!!!! Â I am sure that you will will that little one is stunning!!!
September 25, 200816 yr Author The two eldest babies...the opaline grey green and the green nomal went into their own kindie cage today together as they have been doing so well...and they are having a good time. Here they are today Eldest  Second    Third chick ( still getting its feathers )  Fourth and youngest chick in foster nest ( feather developing on top of this ones head are so long that they part down the middle )  Â
