Posted August 4, 200915 yr This little guy came from a DF spangle hen and an opaline spangle cock. I suspect that this chick is just badly suffused... but i just want to check. There are faint spangle markings on the wings. Do you agree he's a DF spangle??
August 4, 200915 yr I have had a couple that bad, if you keep him put him with a grey hen and they will be all grey greens but it will get rid of the suffusion when you mate the young up later on. That's what I was doing with my yellow DF spangle, I had him with a grey hen for that reason but after laying 4 eggs she attacked him.
August 4, 200915 yr i agree, very suffused? No chance of like a clearwing spangle or a diliute spangle or perhaps even cinnamon spangle or something? There's definatly wing markings there
August 4, 200915 yr Gosh i hope to get something like that when i breed my two double factor violet single factor spangles together. Bring on the violet suffusion!!!
August 4, 200915 yr Author God that's an attractive bird though! Thank you.. he is only very small though.. He's the runt of the clutch
August 4, 200915 yr God that's an attractive bird though! Yeah :happy-dancing: I love his fluffy pantaloons
August 4, 200915 yr Gosh i hope to get something like that when i breed my two double factor violet single factor spangles together. Bring on the violet suffusion!!! :happy-dancing: got to love violets good luck he is gouges if i saw him in shop i would have just went spangled but i dont know much about spangles yet Edited August 4, 200915 yr by GenericBlue
August 4, 200915 yr God that's an attractive bird though! That's the Clearwing breeder coming out in you nubbly :happy-dancing:
August 4, 200915 yr The hen might be a Lutino,or is it just the photo. i thought was a lute also but decided she was showing me it was breed from a df spangle and a sf spangle explaining why it was df spangle badly suffused ...but i could be just making more out of a simple picture hee hee
August 4, 200915 yr Author Lut?? Really??? her eyes are black. i bought her from an auction last year as a Yellow DF spangle... but i guess they could be wrong. And if she is Lut, then the cock is split lut as they have two all yellow daughters.. Two of their daughters... A DF spangle hen?? An opaline spangle hen

An opaline spangle hen liv you are right she is a df spangle hen she just looks lute in picture how ever like you said her eyes are black very nice hen though and lovely strong yellow color just goes to show the light green to yellow breeding does work well with the yellow birds i would say she is a light green herself under her yellow coat this being why your chicks are so lovley and bright all light factor no dark would this be right ??????
February 15, 201015 yr Author This boy is all grown up now and i am still scratching my head He has no trace of iris rings... DEC ?????????
February 15, 201015 yr Interesting to see how he moulted some of the suffusion out, my 3 Df hens did the same thing, had bad suffusion as babies and now have none at all. weird but good :rofl:
February 15, 201015 yr Author Definitely DF spangle!!!!! then why the lack of iris rings?? he is far from being a baby now. Unless he is getting his rings very late, there is not a single sign of them coming in. :rofl:
February 15, 201015 yr You have some beautiful birds Liv do you sell them.I'd be interested if you have a cull :rofl: Libby.
