May 16, 201015 yr Author 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
May 16, 201015 yr 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 Edited May 16, 201015 yr by GenericBlue
May 16, 201014 yr Author 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.

May 17, 201014 yr Author 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:

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.

May 17, 201014 yr Author 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 or if I do keep the Albino cock I was thinking about this hen

If I can't source anything elsewhere to pair with her/them I have these Allbino Splits or if I do keep the Albino cock I was thinking about this hen 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
