October 14, 200915 yr nice job :angel: Thanks for posting photos, you seem to have had a successful first season! Is this the only pair you bred? I like the dark factor birds a lot!

No 1 no2 no 3 (not the same bird) no 4 no's 5.6.7.8. another pair of spangles + ? opaline + cobalt opaline? I would'nt know.Still more later. I believe you can post ten pictures at a time. :angel: Your blue opaline female has a lovely clear mantle on her back. The babies all look very healthy :sad: Thank's Kaz hope I'm doing this right. Have added more as "reply". Pictures no 5 & 6 are different birds. Which is the hen? no 6 I'm guessing as can't see sere on 5 or is there another secret to it? They are nearly identical. nice job :sad: Thanks for posting photos, you seem to have had a successful first season! Is this the only pair you bred? I like the dark factor birds a lot! Thank's Hamish, I've added next lot. I'm flying blind as to mutations. Didn't have history of my breeding pairs so didn't know what I'd get but I got some lovely chicks. No 3 cage, when I get there was a real surprise spangles everywhere by the look of them! I bred 5 cages and have 27 chicks. Only lost 1 live chick. Edited October 14, 200915 yr by KAZ

No 3 Well that's my crop. Great learning experience, should be a bit better next year. We live in hopes !! Thanks to Kaz for all her advice. :angel:
October 14, 200915 yr They are all lovely Robyn and I totally agree with Kaz about the Your blue opaline female she a lovely clean mantle on her back. The clearest i have seen in years. I wish I could breed one with such a clean mantle and babies all look very healthy too.

Thank's splat but I'm not even sure about the mantle etc. I don't show and am trying to read up on "what's what" but not very advanced, I'm assuming it's picture 5 with the clear area on it's back. No 6 is a different bird but very similar.

October 15, 200915 yr Author Thank's Kaz, the second bird is pretty but not as clear as this on the back. Something else I've learned to-day.
