i finally bought a camera, and got some good shot's of my bird's, its a good size list, so be patient

 

First up, The 2 parents, and then afterwards are the baby's, please let me know your thought's on what they might have in them, their's also a few other's in here as well.

Now the baby's, one's a normal sky blue, a redy-eyed albino and the other 2 i cannot completely confirm yet

and this is my aviary

okay, so from a green dad and a blue opaline mum you got 2 blues, 1 green and an albino?

 

Are these guys colony bred? If they are, then this is all speculation, but if not, here is my take on it.

 

You Albino has to be a hen, and for you to get an albino, then Dad has to be a green/albino.

 

Mum is a standard blue.

 

This means that the youngsters are these

 

Green is male or female and is split blue

 

Blues are male. If Dad is split albino, and he passed this gene onto hens, then they would all be albino's as the ino gene is recessive.

 

Albino is a hen.

 

Is my take right on this?

 

I would like to see more pics of the blue opaline spanlge hen you have. She looks a bit like Dumb and Dumber.

Okay Dave, here's 2 that i got just before, cant do any better then that

1. she's aviary bred and wont sit still

2. its dark

Ooooooh Lovely! I see we are equally skilled with the camera

I think you misunderstood me Mattdogg2.

 

I meant this hen

 

Great photos Matt. I like your aviary.

I really really like the bracelets you are wearing !!!

 

 

that wasnt me i had to get my mum to hold them while i took the photo's, and dave, ill go out and try to get a photo now, i got a high power torch so should get a good shot.

don't disturb them at night, wait until the morning. no rush buddy

okay here she is, sorry for bad quality, it was night time.

 

in the yellow face's nest, is that an opaline with the white fuzz?

 

Also Dave, the blue up the top of my first picture is opaline as well i think. not just standard blue.

I am never good at telling what they are so early in the nest. Kaz is much better than me.

 

I said in my original post that the blue mum was an opaline. the blue young are not, but the mum is.

oh, misread it she's one of my best hen's, i thought she was violet opaline at first, she hints it on the back of her neck

The opaline spangle is a lovely hen, I wish I had quality like that in my aviary, nice work

which one is the opaline spangle? the one that dave was talking about?

white fuzzy chick is opaline

Woot! the mother is a T2YF cobalt opaline violet, and the father is a double factor yellow spangle (Green series)

So i will be happy with a few opaline baby's

This is the opaline spangle I was talking about, she is a nice looking bird. One of the ways you can tell if a chick is normal or opaline in the nest is by the colour of its down. White down means its an opaline chick, grey down means its normal.

 

I would say the clutch you are talking about is going to be VERY interesting! Such a mixture of colours it will be very interesting to see what comes out!

I might start a thread soon similar to what the other member i saw a few weeks ago had, like a day 12-42 growth progression topic. cause i expect some beautiful chicks out of this nest coming up.
