She looks really nice. it's so odd having the clear across the back, but that's a good thing isn't it?

Yes....in the show world its a very good thing :reading:

 

quote from THE STANDARD for opalines

 

Note that the Opalines shall have an area between the top of the wings with no markings and with the bodycolour.

This is called the V area.

The wing ground colour shall be the same as the body colour.

they are looking good, sorry to hear about the 1 chick :reading:

Omelette has decided now is a good time to begin laying a third round of eggs :huh:

 

PS Chicks still in the nestbox.

Do you have somewhere for her eggs? Cant let them go to waste.

Love #1, but then I do have a thing for greens!!

What happened to the little green chick? I must have missed the post- parent bite?

PS the green opaline chick was euthenased as it had a twisted leg with two bone breaks in it and the chick wasnt being fed :bliss: This chick nov08002.jpg:wub:

Plenty of fosters for her eggs...won't let her raise a third clutch. She did this the last time...got in amongst her chicks and got busy laying the next clutch :huh:

Omelette has begun laying round three and has three eggs in her nest with her remaining chick

This is her chick left in the nestbox.

DSCF5839.jpg

I will check for fosters for her eggs and remove her nestbox and put the chick on the floor of the cage later this morning.

Edited by KAZ

Put something soft on the bottom of her cage so if she lays any off the perch they wont crack ;)
