Babies are growing very fast, i have been trying to work out the sex of them. I think i have 2 females and one male.

 

The eldest, which i am guessing hen.

 

 

 

Number 2 bub, i think another hen. She was born with plum eyes.

 

 

Youngest, i think male.

 

Based on these photos I would say all females.

Thanks Dave for explaining it to GB for me, Dopey is a male dominant pied that i was given and was unsure of age so i thought i would give him a try and he has ended up being a great father.

 

yeah sorry guys i did state that i could be reading it wrong

i was not being a miss smartie pants just wondering if some thing was over looked as i was reading this thread from the start and just the way its layed out i guess i read the wrong birds for wrong pics

i am backwards after all

 

this where i got mixed

 

Cobalt normal male with a cobalt dom pied hen.

 

Both recessive pieds.

you must admit the rec pied pair the cock i refered to looks very simular

 

 

 

as for your chicks cuties

Finally have another pair with a egg, the hen is a white df spangle and the cock is a skyblue opaline spangle.

Decided to take some new photos of the chicks, they are changing. The eldest has been sticking her head out of the nestbox, will not be long before she is out.

 

The eldest, 4 weeks old.

 

Number 2, 3 weeks old.

 

The youngest, nearly 3 weeks old.

They are very cute. Interesting how the last 2 have head strips, but little other markings. Do they have any colour on their rumps or stomachs?

They are just starting to show some blue feathers on their backs and little on their stomachs. Number 2 bub has a couple of cinnamon feathers on her wings but the youngest wings are all white.

Awww... looking good Deb.

I finally have 2 other pairs breeding for me and they are going well. Both hens are first timings but the fathers are not. Here are some pics of my cute babies.

 

 

2 eggs were fostered into this nestbox and have hatched the same time her first 2 did.

After a slow start, things seem to be coming along very well for you and your birds Deb. I am pleased to see this.
