October 29, 200915 yr Author I took these two and put them into the bottom of the breeder cage as the Greywing hen has now laid another two eggs.
November 1, 200915 yr Here is DAD AND BABY I just found out from the breeder of the Dad The sky cock you bought to my knowledge no dark factor but some of his brothers had the violet neck markings..... his sire was a green greywing and mum was a green opaline greywing I feel he would be split opaline as all his brothers have bred opaline hens but you will get some normal hens. So, does this mean FLUFFY is not female as the white cere indicates ??? :hug: and does this also mean that the green of the parent or parents could have been mistaken and was actually a violet green ? Kaz, if Dad is split opaline then 50% chance hens normals, 50% chance hens opaline. Not being a violet expert I would say that violet in greens might be hard to determine BUT violet sheen on neck does not always indicate violet in the bird. I have skys with a violet collar sheen that are definitely not violet. Unless your cock actually breeds something you can determine as definitely violet then I would say the jury is out.
November 5, 200915 yr Author Back only for today, and I have to go back to Geraldton for my fathers funeral. Checking birds so did some pictures... In the nest of three greywings this fellow is in and out of the nestbox, flyting all around and perching with his Dad siblings in the nestbox... and the skyviolet greywing baby

November 19, 200915 yr Author Wow, they are amazing! You'll be representing this state in no time with those luvlies! :celebrate: I doubt it Renee....there are others doing greywings and have been for longer than me. I have to get some of these ones coming through with better body colour too. It will all take time. There are no overnight successes in this game. I may put Big Blue to a greywing hen I have for some decent splits though. Edited November 19, 200915 yr by KAZ

November 26, 200915 yr Author The markings on a couple are darker - well done! It is simply the difference between baby markings and past first moult markings Renee
November 26, 200915 yr great as usual Kaz. I really like the paler one. I think he has a great blow, of course, that is the way it looks in the photos.
