Posted December 9, 200816 yr hi all again , i did a mini cull a few weeks back and also bought some new birds too . so here they are , cobolt normal cock and fallow hen pair true violet cock and yf opaline cobolt hen pair ( chase and angel ) cobolt normal cock / sky blue spangle hen pair gf ( or yf2 ?) cobolt cinnamon hen mac , yf2 rec pied sky blue( neat tells me violet too ) and violet rec pied hen and df spangle suffusion cock
December 10, 200816 yr They look beautiful, the first one looks Cobalt to me, maybe a flash was used to wash out the color a bit, blues are so difficult to photograph.
December 10, 200816 yr Author yeah those cobolts are tricky to get the true colour to show up , may have been washed out by the flash a bit . its really dull and overcast outside today too .
December 10, 200816 yr I am interested o why you have called the last cock a Double Factor Spangle Suffusion Cock? I would have called it a DF Spangle White Cock.
December 10, 200816 yr Sw I disagree the first photo is a cock .... Violet can be hard to show up on the photo's I know that Chase is a True Violet :hap: ..... Also ...Don't breed Angel ..... She had 2 clutches this year already - Missylu should have told you ....
December 10, 200816 yr Author I am interested o why you have called the last cock a Double Factor Spangle Suffusion Cock? I would have called it a DF Spangle White Cock. he has very light blue suffusion on his underside which is just visible in the photo . others have told me he was df spangle with blue suffusion and i dont really know any better
December 12, 200816 yr Author They are gorgeous pairs. I hope you get lots of lovely babies from them the true violet cock (chase) and yf cobolt opaline hen have their first egg so id best start a new topic when i get a few more eggs and pics :sad:
December 12, 200816 yr :party0011: whoo hooo ....thats ace ...by the way don't quote me on this but your spangle think it was the hen cant remember will check back she it i think you will find is split for recessive pie as she has one to two white feathers on head if you look closly she will throw r. pies if placed with a r. pie or if one parent is split for r. pie :)yerp, the sky blue spangle if that helps any :hap: Edited December 12, 200816 yr by Elly
December 12, 200816 yr You have many gorgeous birds! I really adore your YF2 recessive pied :party0011: Now I want one!
