I am looking to breed some show type chicks and some pretty colourful pet type chicks.

Any advice and input is greatly appreciated as i am hopeless with genetics and out comes etc

added another male

Hi.

I dont know much at all about genetics but you have very nice birds. I love the YF2 Dominant pied, I have never seen one like him before.

 

Sorry I couldnt help.

I love that DF spangle hen, I'd put her to the spangle male personally but I have no real reason for that than that I love normal and DF spangles

No advice from me either, but good luck with your breeding

 

Recessive ?????? Are you sure about that ??

Look DF dom pied to me

Also the violet male looks opaline to me? Hard to tell though without a wing shot

If you breed, the Opalines to the Cinny's you will get inproved feather Quality.

 

Becarful with the cinny's though cause if you breed DF cinnys to cinnys this is where the Flecking starts to be produced

 

 

oooo Whose been doing research LOL

 

Recessive ?????? Are you sure about that ??

Look DF dom pied to me

 

I thought that too. The yellow hen looks df too?

Id put the sky opaline male at the top with your yf grey hen

Thanks Pie, they sound good to me

Yes you are right, I made the mistake of calling him normal for some reason - he IS opaline

Becarful with the cinny's though cause if you breed DF cinnys to cinnys this is where the Flecking starts to be produced

I never knew that... Thanks Neat

Cin grey cock over df spangle hen.

I am **** with genetics however I agree with the pie on these two

Liv ,

 

it depends on what you want if you want " SHOW" standards, or Show size

What do you think of these pairs????

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These two are already bonded

re ordered some pairs

Looks great

i like pairs 1, 4 &5 thats is me though lol

Looks great :hap:

 

Thanks - Your advice has helped a lot - I get so confused about who should go with who.

I like them too. Pair 5 had babies in summer and they look just like mum

good luck - Here's to plenty of fertile eggs and health babies :hap:

Thanks Neat!! I am so worried about this group as most birds are new and I don't know their parenting history *gulp*

The pet types will have two rolls... creating pretty chicks AND fostering any from dodge parents.

They all look great Liv i think you have paired them off well hoping you have some very good results and healthy babies ..........John & Swanacilli

Edited August 5, 200816 yr by **Liv**

Sounds pretty good to me!

Your guess is probably better than mine at this point, but Im getting there! lol

Nerwen, Is DF gey DEEP DARK GREY!!!!

 

Nope. the darkness of the bird depends on the dark factors. these birds look either light grey (no dark factors) or normal grey (one dark factor) for your dark grey you would want to look at using olives/mauves and grey. Violet gene would help as well as it is an adding factor that deepens the colour of the feathers.
