well i got my new cock birds must be few weeks ago now 10 aug to be exact

4 boys all up

3 split for lacewing

and one

lacewing (blue based)

 

you are going to have to turn your heads lol as after i preveiwed post the pics had not rotated as i had done why i have no clue but was not about to spend another hour redoing them all sorry

theses boys are to replace my original buy in which i decided not to breed with due to their flightlessness

 

first we have a : light green opaline split lacewing

he has the eagle look i love and aim to put into my growing stud

 

 

 

he is a lovely long bird and sits very tall unfortunately not when photos being taken lol

although this one bit better

 

 

next my : cinnamon normal split lacewing cock

he has more of the look the show bench is after at moment im to believe, he is a beautiful bird and also sits beautifully split blue as well always a nice bonus

 

 

 

 

 

then my grey green normal split lacewing

he is kind of in between the both looks

 

 

the other pics of him are on my unks cam along with some better shots of the others these taken with my phone so...

 

last my lacewing boy which i got for markings as his are lovely but he has more to him than i expected so im quiet happy

 

 

 

 

 

 

well thats them all doing fantastic

i dont have breeding plans as yet as im not putting birds up as yet i was aimming for 13th aug but decided that the weather is just still to cold so am waiting for a warmer period to arive

hopefully mid september but will see other wize im waiting till end feb start of march next year to start my breeding besides i still havent got rings and im a bit discoraged as i had some nice birds up and some nice chicks that missed getting rung all my first show bred babys and looks like second round the same story

so im going to wait for rings before i breed theses guys

 

im very happy with some the birds i have brought and have a few more to come inwhich after my stock will be compleated and my breeding can really get started i should beable to achive a really nice line with some the birds i have planed eg next year this pairing

my cinnamon split lacewing

and

my cinnamon opaline spangle hen

how ever i will need to hope if i get a lacewing that it is only opaline and not opaline spangle

if at all i get one this pairring is more to see the quality diffrents for myself from the breeding of to birds with lovley quality's

the eagle look and the lion look i believe it will combine nicely

 

The first one is always staring to heaven, is he o.k.? Why do they do that?

wow good bye mate will done

thanks shannon im very pleased with them

 

richo the bird is not starring into heaven lol its eyes are covered by its feather direction he has lovley big round eyes under it all

i want that cinnamon

i want that cinnamon

 

i was lucky i even got him kaz had her eye on him

he is going to be one of my foundation birds for my lacewing line

i hope i get some chicks from him he is very lovely untryed so....

i dont see any reason why i wouldnt still havent decided how to use him yet

put with a really good cin grey hen

or straight to one my lacewing hens

im not good with pairing so... will all be trial and error for a bit

i wood but him to a lacewing hen

i will aventually be doing that but my girls need a rest one just finished raiseing 6 chicks and one just finished raiseing 4 so...i only got the two hens that are lacewing

if i was you i wood go out and bye the best lacewing hen you can to go with him you will be in front big time

Mate........they are to die for Beautiful birds and even better photos of them

Mate........they are to die for Beautiful birds and even better photos of them

 

thank you kaz

shannon i have two very nice lacewing hens

im sure i could go out and buy one we have good lacewing breeder very close by but i want to use what i have my lacewing is not half bad nor is her sister

but i want to build my stock up myself not just start with all quality or its just not fun

improvement is what its about for me for now not size not anything else although i do love long birds

i want to get my markings good then upsize down track my birds are not to small although pics seem this way

i want to win on bench last and breed quality first

Good to see the boys looking so well after their long travels and I have to say GB it was a pleasure dealing with you.

 

You certainly do more justice to them in your photo's than I did!

They are lovely birds GB, can't wait to see the young later on. Is that cinnamon opaline spangle from here or a different one?

BEAUTIFUL ....G_B.....

 

This one's a stunner !!

 

Lovely, I like em all!
