October 3, 200915 yr Author Hot Chicks Anne101, keep the baby photo's coming too! :rofl: Will do Richo !!
October 3, 200915 yr Congratulations! Call me crazy but looking at your pics I do kind of miss that new chickee smell... :rofl:
October 3, 200915 yr that's great news just remember when they are around two and half weeks to clean out inside of their beak for stuck food if any so their beak can form properly be careful though as they are soft don't forget to check bottom a lot of people clean top but not bottom check them dayly for this from three weeks on :rofl: going well
October 11, 200915 yr Author I ended up with 3 chicks out of this pairing...... Chick no 1 Chick no 2 Chick no 3 I'm thinking that chick no 1 is the only one with any dark pigment on the skin ( soory bad picture, but I mean up near her eyes...you can just notice it)....so that one may be pied???, the other two at this stage seem to be all one colour? Any thoughts from the guru's?? !! Edited October 11, 200915 yr by anne101
October 12, 200915 yr Author Or....can you get split for opaline birds? Maybe mum or dad's parents were split for that?
October 12, 200915 yr Or....can you get split for opaline birds?Maybe mum or dad's parents were split for that? im no guru but ,,, only dad could be split opaline as mum is opaline to get a opaline chick he must be split if you have a dom chick you will see a patch on head thats pink in colour or white compared to rest of babys skin colour if a rec pied one the wings skin colour will have spasmatic darker marks here and their about now so you will be able to tell all chick cocks will be split to cinnamon and if dad is split opaline cock or hens could be opaline any that arnt cock wize will be split opaline and cinnamon not a world of help but a bit Austin - DEC cock And Cindy Dom pied hen - not sure if she is split recessive witch is what I need for more DEC's but my first few breeding pairs will be a learning curve for me...I did get a split recessive in my last purchase of birds but she is in quarantine for a while and these 2 seemed to have paired up in the avairy so I will see how it goes...
October 12, 200915 yr Author Thanks for the reply G_B...have to wait and see I guess, will get more pics on the weekend..
October 14, 200915 yr Author Well I got a new picture this afternoon........not sure what I've got here yet??
October 14, 200915 yr Well I got a new picture this afternoon........not sure what I've got here yet?? well looks like mum and dad must be split blue as you have a white feathered friend or is it light yellow feathers hard to tell from picture but i also think it is your dec you were after looks cock too next time you take pics take picture of buby with wing out so i can see closer also the to yellow wing ones i want to see them face on and from back of head with neck and top cap if pos i will try help you see what you got im thinking the yellow on the bottom rights looking like it had dark markings comming close to shoulders but as i said i cant tell so hold its little wing out too it may be a dom i think if this the case nd pos yf
October 14, 200915 yr That white chick would have to be a dark eyed clear wouldnt it ? :sadsorry: and the yellow to the left of it might be one too ? Edited October 14, 200915 yr by KAZ
October 14, 200915 yr Author I think so Kaz,... but I thought that you had to pair a DEC with recessive to get DEC, so I wasn't expecting any in this lot......but who knows what the hen is split for? ...the trouble when you don't know the parents of mum and dad I guess...
October 15, 200915 yr Author WOW....they change so quick in a few days !! Chick no 1 now... No 2 now no 3 now
October 15, 200915 yr that last one is dom or rec bit longer yet and think kaz is right few more days we can tell for sure mum must be split rec their is other option but i got to go so later
October 16, 200915 yr Author Thanks G_B... I think...(if any)...the white chick will be the only DEC.......
October 17, 200915 yr Thanks G_B... I think...(if any)...the white chick will be the only DEC....... :thumbs_up: yeah and the one in right corner is not dom its rec pied i say having another closer look at picture

I think...(if any)...the white chick will be the only DEC....... :rofl: yeah and the one in right corner is not dom its rec pied i say having another closer look at picture What are you seeing G_B....when they are so young what do you look for to know if recessive or dominant?
October 17, 200915 yr Thanks G_B...

Regularity of markings on wings.

Regularity of markings on wings. yes but in terms for a new breeder dark skin spots in small ,patches before feathers the fact it does not have a spot on head size of 5 cent peaice but has dark frontal you will be looking for colour change in feather stem pigment as its feathers come up things like that if you post more pics i will write what im viewing and explain how i come to my decision next time if you like
October 17, 200915 yr Author That would be fantastic G_B...really interested in learning what your looking at.... I will take some more pictures and post this afternoon. Thanks for taking the time to explain....
October 18, 200915 yr thats fine theirs lots of early signs you can look for with a baby to tell colour, mutation, sex i dont mind helping if no one had of helped me i would still be asking as you are :rofl: ps to any one with the power Edited October 18, 200915 yr by KAZ
October 18, 200915 yr Author okay....These are the latest pictures...taken this afternoon. No 1 No 2 No 3
October 19, 200915 yr Author I'm thinking....... No 1 Dominant pied - because I can see colour feathers in the wings? Cock? No 2 DEC - All white black eyes? Hen? No 3 - Recessive pied all yellow with just a dark skin mark on it's head? Cock?
