i am most exited about these chicks

2 visible opaline hens

 

one unexpected cinnamon and that tells me dad is split for cinnamon as well

the hen is also a cinnamon so it may be a hen or cock

 

another opaline i think but i'm not sure

 

if there is 3 hens, opalines, in this nest that quite a result

 

 

a normal chick from a opaline sky blue hen and grey grenn spangle cock pairing

 

from the same nest and i'm stumped about what these will turn out to be colour wise

sorry about the dirty hands

a occupational hazard i'm afraid

 

and then i have a load of spangles that are cousins to the chicks in the first next, the opalines

this little fella left the nestbox and wednesday and i put him back 2day

looks like he or she didn't get fedd much while out of the box

i've been away all week in winchester and my missus and daughter did a grand job looking after the birds but they didn't think to put the chick back in the box

 

and a box full of spangles

i have 7 from this pair with 3 more with the parents

these 4 where fostered

 

i also got spangles from another pair
