Posted June 17, 201015 yr i have paired a sky-blue spangle cinnamon hen mother to a sky-blue spangle / cinnamon cock i was hoping just to achieve some nice chick out comes with this pair and maybe if im lucky a nice df spangle cock hen would do father so far their is two eggs layed 14th june 16th june my fingers are crossed for this pairing as last time i tried them a massive storm hit and killed all eggs from all pairs they had three fertile eggs out of five so lets see if second time i can make up for the lost three :nest:
June 17, 201015 yr Good luck with this pair. I really like the hen, She looks to have a really nice head and mask on her.
June 17, 201015 yr Author thanks dave shes one my favs also i will endeavor to keep these updated for everybody's viewing pleasure :nest:
June 17, 201015 yr Author A beautiful pair GB :nest: thank you kaz im hoping they will give me a good result i think they are a complementary pairing im hoping so
June 17, 201015 yr Author best off luck is that hen a splat bird look's like a nice pair no shannon she isnt does look like the look splat breeds why i like her birds i guess its a caulfield family hen shes 08 i got her in 09 auction one my first show hens this is my splat hen shes not up to breeding for sometime though i kind of stuffed up with her but you learn :nest: this is 09 picture s
June 17, 201015 yr Author okay she look's like her very nice bird yes she does its the look im liking for my hens not easy to breed though im hoping to be able to use these birds chicks as foundations to my stud :nest: the two hens chicks /offspring im meaning Edited June 17, 201015 yr by GenericBlue
June 17, 201015 yr Author i know it is hard to breed good hen's but sume day we will best off luck your not doing to bad mate and i feel im doing okay i am just very picky so most my birds get culled very quickly from between comming out of nest i sell the worst then after their moult i sell anything that hasnt improved or sits lasy or is nipped or very small oe wings are not tight back lines not good im very very hard this will change when i actually have some nice hens to form my own stud with oh and if your a cock your out unless split to something i need eg albino /cin cocks all out again this will stop when i begin my true showing adventure for now its all about breeding good hens for myself i think two years before i really need to be keeping all chicks till a year old
June 18, 201015 yr Author There top looking birds you have there GB I do spangles. thankyou hopefully ill get a few like mum n dad if not better still trying to work the pairing thing out up but still every bird has faults and the ones that dont can genetically hold them so its really a mater of breed your own good from good and then again so on and so on then breed all your good to get nothing but so thats how i understand it but then i dont understand how to instill trats yet being my third round chicks since starting im not expecting winners just some nice hens i hope Edited June 18, 201015 yr by GenericBlue

July 12, 201014 yr Author okay so update three chicks one dead in shell and a acidental brakage death combined as i have a faulty leg and my cage is lower than i normally have i fall and killed last egg to hatch im very sad and rather upset but on the up side i did not squash a chick that had already hatched;) not much of a upside i know i rang first two chicks today one has plumb eyes so fingers crossed pics tomorrow i will take and up load for you all
