They look super splat and I'm very jealous of your birds :hap:

thank you Taboo but there is nothing to be jealous of really I just hope I breed a few winners this year as i am intermediate soon after september I think and packing over it, last year I couldn't wait to go up so judges take me serious but now it is happening I have changed my mind :hap: Iwant to stay beginner for another year I wish, but then all the beginners in my club can't wait for me to go up.

nice birds can i ask not being bad or that just asking you sume think why have you got the pied and normal hen pair up she is small to him just asking she dont look good in the photos that all i like all the rest well done

She is one of Geoffs hens and he said she throughs big babies, he has got his best babies from this hen so I thought I would give her ago. Yes I know that pied is huge and he really is a big bird but some of his siblings were small so it will be interesting to see but there is only one baby.

that okay i just was wondering that all thank's splat

some more pairs and babies

This pair is sky violet spangle cock brother to Gbs hen

 

he is with a dilute hen she is really a bit narrow across the cere and head but she she cost me a bit I will give her ago

This pair yellow df spangle hen sister to the other one above and her uncle a grey green cock

 

this pair my violet cock and Goeff's grey cinn hen, so far this cock has fathered 11 babies maybe 12 by tomorrow

and they are all nice.

 

More pics of babies soon :hap:

thumbs up! Looking forward to more pics!

You have some rippers there Splat :hap: Brilliant !

Do you really think so or are you just being nice Because very unsure about things at the moment :hap:

top birds as all way's mave you need a outcossers

Yes Shannon all the ones with Geoff's birds are outcrosses. crossing my fingers it works .

And the ones that are related need to be brought back into my line.

 

Here are some more babies.

These 2 are from my violet cock above (the one with the cinnamon hen) and a sky blue hen I got from the auction last year, they had 3 babies earlier this year 2 violet hens and the cinn violet opaline hen in the photo above. This time there are only eggs fertile again and 2 have hatch the other due tomorrow I think.

 

This baby is from the same violet cock above and another sky hen that I bred but unrelated they had 6 babies, 1 sky cinnamon hen, 1 sky cinnamon hen, 2 sky normals and 2 cobalt normals but maybe violet as they are looking violet but not sure yet.

Have pics of the last 4 now but the 2 cinnamons are in the nest with the crazy hen so a bit hard to get a photo.

 

This is the other 2 here with the crazy hen taken last week, they are out of the nest now. The hen is so protective she wants to eat me but she is an excellent mum. all 6 babies are really big babies they fill your hand and it feels good.

 

I hope you enjoyed looking

 

And I really hope I got some fertile eggs because first time around I got 14 babies second time around 14 babies and now I have with the babies still to hatch if they do will be 10babies this time so I am really hoping for many more with all these pairs down.

I LIKE this one - a lot!

 

Very nice Splat, very very nice.

Yes Nubbly me too, that one is catching my eye everytime I have a peek, like his dad I think, ( a chip off the block) hope anyway Their dad the violet is the one I won the shield with so am really crossing my fingers

But this baby is really pretty lol and a boy, haha pretty boy

i also like that chick

their doing good mate and they are good chicks and you do have some good birds and you do know what your doing so its all good from where i see it

 

the brother to my splat hen

and the dilute if you cull any of them at all thats / dilute id be very interested as not only same line but split dilute and im needing that as dilute in my binos

 

 

but splat do me a favour dont cull anything till 18 months from that line as their slow developers

i will post picture your hen when i got

as she looked ****

why you would have culled her

Okydoky GbI told Greg I am keeping all babies this year. not selling any. But so far even though I haven't bred many what I have bred is really good so far so when they moult they will be stunners well some of them anyway. They all seem to have the directional feather, Just hope they keep their tails as last year I had and still have some rippers but lost their tail at first moult and never grew babck, they always say when you have the feather you start getting that problem........ well I think it sucks because I can't show them.Is this her GB went searching but not sure

yes thats her but pics i got she was not that nice she was at the gorky stage

people forget they look great then they go gawky for months before turning out their true potential

 

i will keep serching for picture you will know what i mean

This would be her gawky stage maybe it is the wrong hen, tep see if you can find your picture, is it the picture I took when I advertised her or your picture because if this is the hen this is the picture I took.

plus you can see this hen has protenial but I guess I was to hasty and culling, that's me lol

no picture i had was not this one

the picture i had was when she came to me

she was thi and very gawky not nice at all

but i was looking at colour at time more than show bird quality's as i was not rally ready to go full into show birds at that stage just toying with few pairs '

as we all take time to relize colour is last features come first colour comes easy features do not

she was brought as colour not looks

kazzy actually took the pics as kazzy had her for three months i think till i got her

 

i have sooo many birds pics going back 4 years its really interesting actually to see where i started and that i still have the pics of all my birds ive ever owned and chicks ive breed growing up from nest to feather to adult most people on this forum have brought too so thats even nicer to see their all doing well

 

from 2006 on to now so lots to go through

i will find it im sure

This has to be her before she left here (Ithink she must of went into that gawky stage afetr because I looked on photobucket as that is where all my pics are now because I computer crashed all gone forever, Anyway all birds I advertised to sell are on photobucket and this is the only hen I can find that around .

I went into the forum for budgies sales but it only goes back till end 2009. I thought I might be able to find the post.

Anyway keep looking

i will cause i want people to see the drastic difference some birds do before actually blossoming

Some more breeding pairs

This pair is totally unrelated

Clearbody cock, he drops away at the bum this bird so I hope the hen makes up for that

Dark green hen

 

This pair , sorry bad picture. Is light green cock and grey op spangle hen, they both have the same father, my wow bird. The cock has good directional feather and blow which the hen lacks, he is stretched in this photo as he was nervous of the flash going off. But he is a good size bird.

 

Remember the sky hen, the crazy one, here she is. I have her in a wire cage with her babies and she doesn't even attck me now, she was just being a good mum.

She has 2 of her babies with her and the other 4 are in a different nest.

butter wouldn't melt in her mouth now

 

one of her babies a sky cock, third oldes I think

 

The eldest, sky blue cinn op hen

 

second eldest sky blue cinn hen

 

and the nest with 3 left in it

That blue on the left is really something - gorgeous babies Splat. And that green cock is a ripper - if you ever want to sell him can you ring me first?!

Thanks Nubbly, I got that cock ready for the young bird shield cut his blue ring off and left the red one on because he was hatched late September and I double ringed. BIG mistake because it was confusing, anyway cut his ring off and he lost his tail feathers that night. So I was soooooo annoyed because the older he gets the better he gets. Can't show him as a young bird next year now.

 

Sorry won't be parting with him as he is a lovely bird and very valuable as normal to my breeding.

 

But if I breed anything like him I will let you know

 

Yes that little fella is going to be nice is a half nephew to the lt green.

Yahoo Gb that sky violet cock brother to your hen has filled an egg, hen has 3 eggs and first one is fertile, wow so excited as it is the first time he has filled and you said last year that because he busted his wing he wouldn't be able to do it but he did :rofl:

 

The violet that is dad of most my babies so far this year which is 12 young and more to hatch yet well remember be hurt his wing too and can't fly now either but he is doing his job and what a great job he is doing

 

Actually it is proving that my cock birds here breed better when older 18 months and on.

So i had thought that earlier but now I am quite sure so I am keeping the young cocks till next year to breed with.

Edited July 28, 201014 yr by splat

thats great news splat

not sure i said that but could have said possibly may have difficulty as need wings to hold on and balance so maybe i did say it :rofl: but wouldntbe able to doesnt sound like me im not usually so defenent in my wording

 

im glad your going to keep your young cocks longer as i belive that cocks 3 years old are just entering prime myself and never hesitate at trying an older bird speshily a good well breed one
