Here is my yellow Df Spangle cock

 

And one of his daughters she is hatched in the first week of July so has heaps of maturing to do yet.

 

What do you think, he has 3 daughters the same

Wow mate

 

I would say she is better than her father.

 

Well done :rofl:

Kaz you have her older brother, the white Df

 

love this little guy :rofl:

i think you have done well with him then if all hens look like this

lovley birds he is lovley isnt he

The good thing Splatt,it looks like you

have,cleaned up that subfusion.looking foward to seeing them at the show.

Thanks Kaz and GB.

I think he is classed as proponent or something like that, because what ever he fathers they all turn out the same and nearly as good as him some even better, occasionally I get one with not as much feather and that is probably the genetics from say the mother

Pre potent

Oops that's what I ment to type .

What Macka you mean she looks like a splat or a blonde :rofl:

Funny thing that suffusion the whole 3 had it when they feathered up as babies and then grew it out when they went through their first moult which they're still doing. strange.

This spangle line is very slow maturing I guess it's because of the amount of feather they have.

I have to say they all look fabulous, but I am still a fan of the DF spangle suffused bib. I think it should be classed as part of the standard to set DF spangles apart from other classes like albino, DEC etc.

Stunning Stunning Stunning!!!! Congratulations

Thanks Dean and Liv.

Dean that is what the DF spangles looked like when they were first discovered as Geoff Gardiner my friend was the one that named them back in about 1976, It is in the Australian National Budgerigar Council "The Standard", he said they had a bib or collar but then they decided they had to be a whole colour.

But that yellow cock is my favorite and Geoff said he is an outstanding bird

 

His grandsons which are from his son the white DF spangle I did well with this year are white with grey suffusion on their front and back and I am really hoping they moult that out too.

I put him with a grey opaline spangle BIG mistake should put him with a grey normal.

 

His brother that now Kaz has who is almost identical has 3 babies, one is a grey spangle cinn spangle cock I think and A DF factor white which is looking very clean and the 3rd is a spangle but mother is not feeding her well. But I put this cock with a cinnamon grey spangle hoping to get clean DF spangles.
