I know I could not have asked for a better pair to breed with first time. Mum looks a so worn out i can't wait till the fledge cause she is going to need the break!

They're very cute. I have so many of them at that age but it's always nice to see other people's bundle of joy. Nice names, and the parents are such a colourful pair; a lutino with a dominant pied. You couldn't of asked for a more colourful pairing. lol

Jean is a pied, the others all look quite pale so they may all be pieds, can you se dark pin feathers coming throughon their bums and a dark sheen on their skin(like on Jean's head) or is it very pink with pale white/yellow pin feathers?

Already added it to one of the comps

I LOVE the way Jean has her(?) arm around her little brother!!! SO CUTE!!! I love baby budgies!! I wish I had the room, the facilities and the time to breed them. I dont. but watching the babies on this forum hatch and grow is the next best thing!! Thanks for posting those photos.. they are wonderful, i cant wait to see them when they begin to feather up!

You could get lutino hens if Flame is a boy ?????

Your Dom pied looks to be a double factor dominant pied to me, I may be wrong, as Kaz has so elegantly demonstrated with her pied quiz, but if he/she is a dominant pied, then all the offspring will be single factor pieds, with the boys split lutino.

So cute. :hap:

Hey AV I dont know how I missed this, they are looking soooooooooo cute!!!! I am glad to see that head case is doing well!

Cute- they will all be dom pieds in green and maybe blue. young will be split blue, cocks split lute also

Looking forward to seeing them feather

okay so i had better post some pictures of my babies now that they are starting to get feathers

AWWWW........ they're adorable!!! I am looking forward to hopefully having some pink jellybeans of my own soon, with 2 pairs on eggs, and another one that should lay soon!!

1 skyblue opaline dom pied- (hen?)

2 blue series (!) dom pied (opaline I think hen)

3 green opaline (hen?)

4 green normal ( wings look light- cinny? maybe it'll darken up when they come through a bit more)

(based on the cock being split opaline and the hen not showing it.

Just my guess- not 100% sure!!

 

Are they in the aviary because you shouldnt have got normals? - he is double factor isnt he? Maybe a light marked Sf.

Nope they are cabinet breed so have no clue where the normal came from and yes the father is a double factor.

 

All hens are you kiding me? argh well only one wants a cock and if i have all hens then i will have to give him one out of another clutch! Thanks for that

am guessing that butter is a cock -

*bangs head against desk* yeah that would be right the only one that does not matter if it is a hen and he will turn out to be a cock!

they are adorable AV

hey, just curious, do babies get into pain when their feathers start coming in?, because it looks pretty painful!
