Posted January 6, 200916 yr So the bubs are just about to go off to their new homes. All but one are eating on there own and in the nursery cage. A few more weeks and they will be good as gold. I'm so proud, they are all doing so wonderful. Lutino Hen Creamino Hen Normal Dark Green Cock Normal Light Green ?? (not sure hen or cock) Normal Cobalt Blue Cock Dominant Pied Dark Green Cock Dominant Pied Dark Green Cock Opaline Light Green Hen Opaline Dark Green Hen GF2 (sf) Cobalt Blue (I think one hen and one cock)
January 6, 200916 yr they look very good. I am assuming the normal light green is the youngest and is not feeding itself yet?
January 6, 200916 yr Author they look very good. I am assuming the normal light green is the youngest and is not feeding itself yet? Yes, it is the youngest and still with mum and dad. All the others are eating well and in the nursery cage. This one is not far behind in age from all the others, but seems to be moving along much slower than the others. He's very active though and seems healthy otherwise, just a late bloomer it seems.
January 6, 200916 yr Normal Dark Green Cock Dominant Pied Dark Green Cock Opaline Light Green Hen Opaline Dark Green Hen Just wondering, when you look at the yellow on these guys faces are they the one colour or do they have patches where the yellow is darker? Maybe its just the photo but thats what it looks like to me, if they are a little patchy they may be carrying the gf gene... (I have no idea if its gf or yf, I can never tall the difference.)

I see what you are saying JB, but I'm not sure... this is their dad... Opaline Dark Green Cock Split Lutino and he may or may not have GF in him?? I never found out. He's paired with my SF Dom Pied Light Green hen and I don't think she has GF...??
