okay well finally i have my very first pair birds that i will be breeding to start my albino line

 

first a run down on my plan

to breed a few albino hens of my own

and some albino cocks of my own

 

plan of action ..by pairing my

grey normal split albino to my albino hen

and

my albino cock to my grey normal hen

 

these two cock birds are full brothers breed by JG2 - 08

they are from the same albino stud line of the nat winner 09 (this year )

not full blood related to the winner but still a bargain and a good start

these birds were brought at my clubs action few months back

 

the hen i brought was a very good buy a TF1 - 08 breed bird

 

i was going to breed my albino cock with my albino hen

 

but decided to get a grey norm hen and breed him with her

and breed my split albino cock to the albino hen

 

this way i will get

Normal / Albino cock x Albino hen

 

Albino cocks

Normal / Albino cocks

Albino hens

Normal hens

 

 

then with my albino x grey norm hen

Albino cock x Normal hen

 

Normal / Albino cocks

Albino hens

 

 

then i will hope fully of breed some visually albino cocks and hens for my self from both brothers

which will give me my start

 

the rest i will work out as my chicks become older and ready to breed

i dont have rings yet so hopefully i can get some quick smart

before these eggs hatch

 

yes the first pair have 4 eggs so far due to hatch 19th to 20th august

so depending how long it takes for rings to be ordered and made depends if they get rung

wont matter though i just wont be able to show any of the chicks if i cant get rings

 

pics of the pair

 

 

 

 

 

grey split albino cock..JG2-08 bird

X

albino hen TF1-08 bird

eggs layed

27th july first egg ...this egg was dented with toe nail and eatten by hen

second egg layed 29th july and removed for safety to another nest ...to be returned once laying comenced

third egg layed 31st july ..hen sitting

forth egg layed 2nd august ...hen sitting

fith egg layed 4th august sitting

 

so this is ...as far as i have gotten so far ,as my albino cock just finishing a molt now,the grey hen is ready but he is not

i will pair them this week in to a breeding cage with out a box

then post pics of the two ...

hopefully i dont miss her timing if so i will pair them in a small flight i have its a meter by 2 meters high they can stay their intill she comes back into condition him with her that could take up to seven weeks though

will keep this updated regularly as things progress

im so exited weather i fail or not

im going to keep a log of it all here share my first experiace with show birds here

wish me luck

any hints welcome or if you see something you think i need to be told or what ever feel free to help me along my path to the

(hopefully )oneday ...the show bench

i have already decided on my ring code so, im a bit exited

Sounds great GB,

 

Looking forward to the updates...

I am looking forward to following this thread

Sounds great Gb look forward to seeing the young.

Sounds great Gb look forward to seeing the young.

 

i cant wait either

its the bit i hate from last egg to hatch they are fertile i dont do the cradling thing

if they hatch they hatch

i can tell by about day 11 if their going to hatch or not

hopefully my very first show quality s

 

the plan it to get some albino chicks and split cocks from each clutch

then pair the albino cock to my grey spangle sh9 -o8 hen when she is ready and get another clutch from them

(she was good but hurt her foot so in inside having recovery time )

but for now he can go with my sh9-o8 grey normal they better pairing as she has good size and deep markings

so any norms will have nice dark wings

im not sure if my albino cock is masking any other mutation either so another reason im going her first

i dont want df spangle albinos

im still yet to get their full history i was told they could be split dilute though (the brothers) so

thats good as im wanting to use dilutes instead of cinnamons in my albino line mabe a bit of both for feather softness cinnamon works great so....something to think about

 

after i breed the albino hen to the normal grey split albino

she is going to be paired to my sh9 -o8 grey spangle cock

he is just finishing molt also

get some more chicks from them

i also need to find out if she is masking spangle before placing her with the spangle cock

 

this wont be a fast exercise but it will be worth while one i belive

im down loading pics of albino cock and his grey hen now so will post pics soon i placed them together today to get aquainted while he finishes his molt

well

thanks for following this hope fully its going to be fun and interesting

the foundation of my albinos is something i have been thinking about for some time

now finally i got a start

so her is my

sh9 -08 hen

and her

albino jg2-08 cock

 

 

 

only im thinking my cock seems to be looking henish

what do you guys think

 

 

 

 

im hopeing its just the fact he is molting and nit in condition

i do remember kaz once saying she has never seen a albino cock with a fawn cere before when he was first brought

mmmmmm i wonder

if he ends up a hen im doomed before i start :sad: :rofl:

well just means i will need to save and get another good cock

hopefully mr rowe will be able to help me

at least with another split boy ???? even if it means waitting for it to hatch

well i took really good look just to make sure

 

like i thought in first place my cock is a cock feeeeuw

just my phone cam sucks

five eggs as of 600pm tonight and sitting

looking good

 

hopeing you get your rings good luck

looking good

 

hopeing you get your rings good luck

 

yes i hope but i doubt i will

my membership still needs to be tabled what ever that means

im guessing weather they want me or not

then once im excepted then i get to register for rings sucks really as i being wanting rings for ever now and could take to long for these chicks

so i wont be able to show them (at club i mean)

but can breed with them when older

was not going to start breeding till i had rings but when the birds are ready their ready they dont wait for me to be ready lol

Love the albino cock GB.....

 

I'm sure all will be good with the club, looking forward to updates....

thank you he has had better days i cant wait till he finishes his molt he will look beautiful

6 eggs although they all still look pink so...................

but i got nine eggs hatch from my last lot(of all over egg count from all pairs ) i got told were no good so they will sit i will hope

i have others that will have chicks due on same date with loads of eggs so can give a few chicks to get started with see if she feeds well and he fathers well so wont be wasted experience for me

although disappointing

im now an official member of the yarragon budgie club in vic :sad: ,

all though i will probbly make a big fool out of myself when it comes to words and the shortning of things eg u b c 's

lol

i ordered rings tonight so i hope i get them before chicks i got 50 un coded for now and will get coded when the new rings come in next year 2010

im feeling just like big kev now (exited)

hopefully i get an albino chick to ring or two i would be happy if three hatched since this their first time as mum and dad

the count down begins

...............................................from around 18th on they should start hatching if at all

i will look it up tomorrow for sure

well my albinos eggs are all no good but i thought the cock was too young and was going on advice from others to breed him

his iris rings are not even in yet and still just starting to come

and i always well i took out all eggs no point her sitting

i put them under others in case but no..i know they infertile you can see well its all good she can rest with him till i put all the others up in mid september she is very good healthy still and only her first lay so....she only sat for half the time ment see how she looks mabe i will just wait till next year consentrate on my lacewings

 

so...... i failed oh well win some lose some

im not detured just more deturmond

and was wondering why i did not continue with it

i know theirs one out their somewhere that has some my albino breeding results but couldn't tell you where

'lost in cyber space on here lol

 

 

but i decided to

restart this thread as i have my grey 06/opaline/cin/albino cock with a sky violet spangle hen

PICTURED IN MY 6 NEW CHICKS THREAD

and i decided id continue their growing here

no pics tonight

but i know the first chick will be grey

i know the second chick will be a hen and is opaline and cinnamon

and the little one is to small to tell as yet

i will grab pics tomorrow

i will also write rezults of my other albino breeding and chick rezults

from 09 to now

and catch it up

:laughter: give me something to do when i cant sleep :laughter:

okay so here are pics of chicks from my split albino grey o6 boy to his woman a sky blue spangle hen

hes split for cinnamon and opaline so i got two cin op spangle hens and a grey norm sex undecided as yet

on them both

the cock hes nice boy hope hes / ino just a 25 percent chance so .

he will be like dad i think

 

cin grey spangle opaline hen

 

 

 

 

im sorry about the colour just the lighting in my room

 

and the little spangle cin hen im thinking this ones not opaline

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i will get better colour pics durring day time

okay here is this pairings chicks to date

i personally am disapointed with these chicks

but have been told im to harsh on my chicks and expectations

how ever i dont think i am not if i want to get up their with the big boys

but in saying so know its not just size that counts

so in saying that i will be keeping all this clutch till one year at least

 

first cinnamon opaline grey hen

 

grey cock norm possably / ino 25 percent chance poss / cin and opaline same percentage of chance

 

 

cin spangle grey last chick but best in my veiw sio far

she has deep cin markings i love it

 

 

 

 

her back

shes not fully featherd yet

okay new pairring

 

i put this pair up last weekend sunday to be exact

and two eggs today

 

not very good picture i will try get better one of them soon

im aimming at some spangle split albinos or just spangles and or a few normals

trying to see if dads split anything and if mums cobalt or violet mabe sky violet

as she pink all over body colouring from masking violet or skyviolet i belive but

time to find out what one

shes masking normal and cinnamon im pretty sure on the cinn but not certain and will know from son mating in future provided the sp cock is not split to cin fingerscrossed he is not

okay chicks today

the little one is the best one as i thought would be

 

youngest chick on top second chick on floor

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

with dad

 

 

second chick

 

Very nice

 

Very nice

yes she came out the best as i thought she would

she was smaller in nest but had the right shaped head and long feet love her dark cinnamon

so with this clutch

i sold the second chick and keep the youngest cin hen

reason for this is that i wanted spangle with out opaline hens

i kept the smaller looking grey boy as i think he will suprize

and hes poss split albino

i will put him to albino hen so that even if hes not his chicks will be

then if hes not up to my standards cull him

 

chicks

i kept ,.. the grey

 

the cin hen

not so small now with lots growing room

 

 

 

they are sitting on another 8 eggs but i think only 4 maybe five are viable :fear i get a bino hen this time

 

 

 

also this morning my first chick hatched with my albino hen

and my sky blue cf1 cock

so hope its a boy :fear

 

 

 

as i think only this hatched egg and one other are fertile

wow i got a chick today from the split pair with the eight eggs

only four look firtile this was one of them

its a bino :glare: :glare:

woohoo im so happy being an o6 boy i really wanted a bino from him just one :rofl:
