The parents I think it's the only photo of the hen I have

The old boy my WOW bird

 

You can see why I am getting suffusion using green and blue birds but they mix so well. I am focusing on the bird first then I will worry about variety once I have type.

His son there were 2 the first year MB got his brother and a sister the next year

 

Sister when young

 

The paired the yellow Df with a cobalt spangle my idea of a bad mating at the time because of colour but look what I got. I will put the cobalt spangle up later.

 

Sky opaline cinnamon spangle

when a baby

Earlier this year

 

White DF spangle

I will put the rest of the offspring up in a couple of days. Just lost photo bucket.

 

I hope you enjoyed :ohmygod:

Your DF spanlge line does look fantastic - well done

Hey splat - you might be getting bad suffusion in your DF spangles but the dark factor on the normal spangles is lovely.

 

Got a question though....... the light green spangle cock - how come there are yellow feathers through the body colour? Or is that just a random thing?

Unbelievable colors---if the hen with "bad suffusion" needs a home...

Thenks Nubbly I will work on the suffusion next year, I actually tried to to the Yellow Df with the suffusion (father of the nice birds I am getting now with a grey hen but she laid 4 eggs then attacked him so I took him out as I do not want to loose him, the eggs were clear.The light green spangle with a bit of yellow in his body must be random, that's not good is it for showing as his body is not solid.

Unbelievable colors---if the hen with "bad suffusion" needs a home...

Thanks Kate but she is a keeper, even though she has suffusion she also has type and feather she will be used to improve my spangles and I am going to try DF spangle to DF spangle next year.

Splat....

 

I am no expert by any means but this guy has to have good qualites for showing??....stunning...

He looks like he has fur not feathers !!

 

 

 

And this one....

 

 

 

WOW......

Thanks Anne, yes he came 3 rd at the victorian young bird shield and was selected on the National team to go to tassie but he didn't go. I have taken him to two shows and both shows he has won best young bird in beginners and his sister the sky cinnamon spangle won best opposite sex to him.
