grey normal hen

in this breeding i found out dad is split for Opaline(what isnt these days )

 

5 chicks all up out of 6ix eggs

4 dom pies and 1 normal chick

 

 

1 opaline grey dom

notice the spot on her head (for the new breeders )

and the white pin feathers on the half of her wings this is characteristic of a dom pie chick

 

second chick

not Opaline but dom pied ,again note the spot on its head and the darkening on half the wing

 

third chick normal grey (the favorite of mum )not the down gone

this chick is normal not dom see the head is darker no spot and wings darkness extends all along wing to tip of flights

 

this chick is also from same nest

and also dom pied

but you can not tell in this picture

 

their is another but i didnt take picture yet of it another dom chick

will take more pics as they grow

Cute as G_B....the little Albino is sweet.....

 

it isnt so little either it was only hatched on the 30th september

Love the albino chick........showing directional feather already too

First dom pieds down seems too grey to be opaline. Should be pure white all over, and even the back of the head is grey down.

Gorgeous albino What cutie!

Gorgeous albino :rofl: What cutie!

 

well im with you their but she is defenently opaline and im thinking she may be a he and im confused as to this as for a few reasons

 

1 ) i cabinet breed

2) the hen is norm and dad is norm dom

3) they been paired for 1 month before box goes in

4)if by chance their was some mirical where she was fertile before and (i dont see that happening )

here first mate who she hated was a grey green cinn split blue split lace wing and they were two gether for 2 weeks before she atacked him and i took him out left her for a week then introduced the dom pie cock ??? :rofl:

taking a guess does any one think they can tell the sex ???

 

 

 

 

 

 

here is an idea what the pics of the doms looked like

Edited October 21, 200915 yr by GenericBlue

Looking good GB though I am looking forward to when they get a tad bigger, say in a week's time I always find chickies look scrawny at this stage.

 

I am no expert at the early sexing but from the width of the cere I'd take a punt and say hen chick.

 

Let's see what the more experienced members say though

at two to 4 days i said hen but now im not sure the other one was a cock forsure although he didnt need to be with us he was badly deformed leg wize

he went to new home but he went down hill over night for the best personally

my chicks today

first my albino

if its a boy its going to be called benny

 

 

 

 

now my doms

 

to start with the one i have not shown before its a norm i think its going to be opaline but it got plucked by its foster mum not the hen their with now

so and i didnt reconize the fact as it was so little i moved it on bass it wasnt getting feed enough then relized it should have feathers so :fingerscrossed:

my baldy

 

 

 

 

the last baby is next

 

 

then the violet dom

 

 

 

then opaline bluegrey

 

 

 

 

and a medium grey

 

hi all i have updated pics from today

question is it me or are these birds taking ages to feather is their something wrong or am i impationt or do i have to worry about now ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

baldy

 

 

 

unfortinanty because of my bad managment and not being able to tell a plucked chick in nest i was to late moveing balsy in with his brothers and sisters im hopeing he will recover

i only relized as he was born same day as second chick you can see the drematic diffrents oh i feel so bad

 

my albino i have named platerpus as in dutch it translates to flat cat it seems he lies flat as posable at times i nere

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

well thats it for todays update what you all think

are the growing at normal raite or not

remembering these my first ever full bred show birds im only use to pet and half pet half show which seem to feather alot faster

I think your birds look wonderful GB.

 

Their feathers are growing at the correct rate, so do not worry.

 

Watch out for Kaz, she will want the pieds

Yeah nice job GB, they look great. It always seems like they take ages to feather when you are excited for them to grow up and get big!! That eldest opaline looks to have a nice blow on him! Nice job

lmao so i have been reading dave

 

im actually glad you commented thanks as i was getting a tad concerned

 

as for kaz wanting my pieds im not sure they are within her standed

although for my very first show birds and a pairing i was told was really bad

im very pleased with the rezult and can not wait for them to grow

 

heres one i missed

 

 

the baby

 

 

 

and a nice shot of platypus(spelt correct this time ) i think .

 

here is mum and dad

 

 

 

 

dad alone

 

i like tham but sorry i am not in to albinos

Watch out for Kaz, she will want the pieds

 

 

I'll take this one please GB
