Hi all

 

I have introduced myself once, but have only just figured out how to load photos of my lot (hopefully!).

 

This is the mum to the second lot of babies!

 

 

These are two of her babies. We have decided to keep 3 of the five - the two girls went to my father-in-law who gave me the parents! We kept the boys - they are lovely big birds! We have no idea what 'mutation' they are - too complicated for me! I only worked out gender through the amazing info provided on this site!

 

The bird on the left is the third boy from the nest! Lovely!!!

 

This is Dad - a big lovely bird!

 

My aviary - built by my father in law! The aviary gets the morning sun and then is protected from the afternoon heat by the shed against it!

 

 

I hope to add more soon, but this is a start. At the moment, I have 12 birds and a total of 7 birds in nesting boxes, with two sets of parents.

Hi there,

 

Welcome if I have not said it before.

 

Thanks for the photos. Your birds looks great.

 

Dad is a dominant pied, Mum looks like a normal.

 

The three you have kept look to be a Yellow faced cobalt normal, a yellow faced dominant pied (poorly marked but it cannot be a Double factor, thus it is a poorly marked single factor) and a yellow faced cobalt dominant pied.

 

This means that either mum or dad are a double factor yellow faced bird as all your birds have yellow faces but both mum and dad have white faces.

Lovely birds great job posting the photos too. Dave has answered your questions about what kind they are...chicks look gorgeous too by the way

please most more pictures of your avairy.....
