September 26, 200816 yr Author I love this little one, I think it's gorgeous Me too Mum has laid three new eggs so far. and Dad visits the two eldest in their kindie cage for a little while each morning and night to top them up with food Edited September 26, 200816 yr by KAZ
September 26, 200816 yr Author too cute, what a dedicated father. Unfortunately he has also begun to moult whilst breeding so he is on the best of foods right now and I am watching him closely.
September 26, 200816 yr Good luck! The chicks are stunning. My green clearbody cock started a really bad moult while in the cabinet, they have been laying and smashing eggs, so no babies to worry about so they are out of the cabinet now for recovery time.
September 28, 200816 yr Author All the chicks today.......... Number one chick........ Number two.......... Number three..... and number four in foster nest and foster chick ( asleep )
September 28, 200816 yr Author They're looking excellent! How snooty is No1!!!! haha Love it! He was annoyed cos I removed a perch and he was flying and wanted to be up the top of the cage
September 28, 200816 yr They look absolutely gorgeous! My next bunch should fledge in the next week or so I guess, the middle baby is already popping out of the nest box, twice in last 24 hours (too young). With this cabinet breeding I am still unsure how to go with this. How long do you put dad in the kindy cage for, morning and night? I guess you wait till you see they are all eating on their own before they get to this stage?

I guess you wait till you see they are all eating on their own before they get to this stage? Yes I was putting Dad in morning and night but they are eating now, so I went to put him in just for tonight but he didnt want to feed them just wanted to escape. I put him back with his hen. So thats the end of that...they have to eat for themselves which mostly they are doing now anyway
September 28, 200816 yr #2 and the last picture are simply wonderful, I love how #2 already had a stance going.
October 1, 200816 yr Author Chicks in the showcage today......... No 1 No 2 No 3. No 4 in foster nest and the foster baby DF spangle cock

October 1, 200816 yr They look great - I agree wth the 100 photos for 1 good one, and most of the time I cant even get that to do the bird justice! Neat- Kaz's numbers are well well down on what they were, so lots of restocking no worries!!: :rofl:
October 1, 200816 yr Author Neat- Kaz's numbers are well well down on what they were, so lots of restocking no worries!!: :rofl: Thats what happens when you become more focused on show types and then all your other birds look TINY. You cull hard, and reduce numbers :rofl: Edited October 2, 200816 yr by KAZ
October 2, 200816 yr It's all about the swank hey Kaz 6 EGGS Golly gosh, there was not wasting time now was there :lol2:
October 2, 200816 yr Wow Kaz they are stunning babies, you should be very pleased with them. One of my hens laid 9 eggs and she sat on them all and every one hatched but as I ringed them I transferred them to foster nest and left her with 4.
