These are all the chicks I produced in my first year of show breeding. Let me know what you think.

 

In order from oldest to youngest.

Thanks KAZ I'm looking forward to getting the opportunity to take them to a show to see how they go.

 

Also looking forward to producing more chicks in my 2nd year :wub:

the albinos are nice

can i ask can you see cinnamon on them or have i got cinnamon on the brain

and even if they do their nice for your first babys

and can still work with them they have lovley faces mate your hen i like better as she has that show pride and nice directional feathering on her head around eyes

put her to a nice long grey /albino with bit of shoulder and height in his feather above head you will get some nice albino hens

and cocks but if shes cin you want to cull the split cocks out thats if shes cinnamon and just keep the hens

they wont be cinnamon albinos provided your grey / ino cock is not also /cin

I can't see cinnamon in them, in person but maybe I'll test mate the grey opaline/ino to a cinnamon hen to make sure though.

 

I'm hoping to put the hen at the top with a good grey cock when I can find one to get some splits, whatever I do find for her I'll be putting to her mum as well. Wouldn't say no to a good grey/ino cock though if I come across one with the right features. Ideally I'd like to mate each of them (mum and daughter) to a Grey and a grey/ino.

well youd have an idea what the perents were right

so if mum was albino

what was dad

rather than test mate the grey boy who if the dad was /cin may only have 25 percent chance of being / cin also him self

id just look into dad and what he was split

if mum was cin youd be able to see faint wing and spots on her

apparently pics can make them look cin sometimes

Dad was an Opaline Blue/Albino and as far as I know not split for cinnamon according to the breeder, mum doesn't appear cinnamon either. I can't test mate dad as he's no longer with us :yes:

then dont test mate him as such

just use him to a normal grey first

you will then know

with the hens just be sure you use a cock with no cin hidden

shes a nice hen and you could work with her i wouldnt put the grey/with her as hes not got enough about him

well for me anyway

I didn't mean the one in the pics, he's her brother from her parents 2nd clutch, all my ablino and albino splits are brothers and sisters over 2 clutches from the same parents.

I meant that if I come across a good Grey/albino cock with the right features and breeding to complement her I'll purchase and use him to her and to her mother so I have some 1/2 brothers/sisters to work with. I'd like to obtain a really good quality grey normal to use to get some splits as well.

:yes: yes sorry good plan

brother is nice just he needs height hes one thoughs cobby little boys

get him a hen with feather above the head to not to long to start with but with shoulder

then from their you can stretch them out abit with out lossing his fetchers by putting the chicks produced to a thin long hen

this should balance the whole picture

hes nice fella though they both are really nice for albinos

really

id be very happy with them

I wasn't sure about keeping the Albino cock or the Grey Opaline/Albino, I will definately keep the hen though. If I can't source anything elsewhere to pair with her/them I have these Allbino Splits

i like the deportmentship of the first grey boy his nice longer bird

good direction going out and over eyes even if hes not got a lot over the head

he could be saving that for the gals lol

hes a bit short in mask whick is what you want to watch as if you dobble up on a short mask your going to get all short masked chicks

i know

but in saying that if you used him with you young hen her mask is rather nice in length so and their chicks you could put to long masked birds

 

id keep all your albinos as a good albino is hard to get

and cock birds are the hardest

he is very usable

 

the second albino / cock is the one i would try with mum

see what he produces with her

if good then put to you gal

his head feather has more height

 

the opaline hen will suprize you i think

she has the qualitys again tad short in mask and not the nices sitting hen

but he the albino will probbly make good pair to start you

 

id cull the / albino his mask and head just arnt their

for show quality

you will just go backwards

two steps
