Aw, GB, Im sorry about your youngest egg.

finally a picture

sorry took so long

and that theirs only one it was cold so dont want chicks getting chilled

 

will get more as they grow

okay so it seems im colour blind as looks like i have two cin eyed chics

as dad is split cin i wont know if they is just hens and cinnamon spangle or if their are both df spangles

still to cold for pics sorry will take into my romm for photo shoot next few days

Very cute, I am following this thread with the eyes of a hawk Very cute chicks! I can;t wait for my more photo's

okay so i have been a tad busy trying to get my aviary finished and birds back in so ive been slack on the updates so here is somepics of the chicks from this clutch

 

one skyblue spangle cock normal i like this chick i think he will turn into something worth keeping for my breeding

'future spangles

 

 

 

 

then a df spangle i think cock

hes not really comming along as i wanted and i think im going to tame him up for a friend

his got blue suffushion on neak and chest but i will see as if hes good well then that wont matter one bit in my breeding program as he will produce all spangles after all when put to normal

 

 

 

and a cin sky blue hen very nice she will be i think

not a good picture

 

i will now their bit older get better shots just wait for youngest to feather tad more

so far their comming along nice sp the sky norm boy

Lovely Great feather on them all. The DF looks female to me. I wouldnt be too quick to be rid of her if I was you

cinnamon skyblue

 

 

More mammoth budgies mate and lots n lots of feather too.

 

You are gonna beat the pants of anyone in your club once these babies get on a perch in a show cage

no i dont think so

these are nice babys yes nice and big

but i doubt i will be beating anyone fast

they have some good contenders in my club

and lot of them only breed for fun so dont do the big shows yet take out the club shows quiet easily

 

im not going to be showing myself as yet

im just building my own stud up

i am getting their quicker than i thought

but still alot of improving to do

 

i do like the spangle marks on the little fella though nice dark crisp

most my bred birds have been no dark factor birds this past season bar a few greys so i better start pairring for a bit of df or everything will become light with no dark

 

ive been pairing for results not color or anything just for size and face feather so feel im achieving that

They look really good GB, i like the first one the best so far but the other 2 are still feathering so hard to tell.

You should have a little shot at showing as it helps you find out where you are at and plus if you leave it to long you will be up in the next level against me

No serious you should mainly around your area like me and maybe the shields. Don't worry about those other breeders, you know sometimes us beginners can beat the pants off the Champion breedings. Enter for the fun of it, if you win anything great if you don't you will learn something.

 

You have a chance as a beginner but the next level is much harder as the judges don't allow for beginner breeding so I am packing myself because I go up soon. Which is wanted I have wanted for a couple of years so the judges take me seriosly but now that it has happened I really want to stay in beginners .

I'm a sook hey, it's only because I have had 2 rotten years of clear eggs. And anything good has no tail

nar im not worried about showing yet **** i only been breeding since sep last year show birds

and this only my third round of pairs

 

have you ever looked at the possibility your birds are getting tail rot in nest ??

as no tail isnt always from good feather

and not a sign of good bird in my eye also it its hard to get out of stock if it is from feather i dont keep tail less birds unless caused by other reason than apparent feather quality (personally i believe its just a mild case of fm nothing to do with good feather id say its bad if they dropping out not good }

but can be caused by feather rot which is different birds born with tail then it drops after first molt never regrows it tries but after growing about two or three centimeters feathers all soft and black at end and pulls out with black rotten end

i dont remember what causes it or how to stop it

Hey I have not heard of that but that sounds like an idea, so there could be a treatment. All my birds have tails when young just a few have lost them after their 1st moult and some when they have turned 18months and they are my best birds maybe it is tail rot.

yes yes i know ive been very slack

im sorry

just things got hectic here for a bit

 

so bubbys came out last week here they are

 

cinnamon spangle cock

(i forgot since fathers split and mum is cinn the chick could of been hen or cock so i was wrong their squeak crumble )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

he is my favorite one but its a hard call between him and his spangle brother :fear

 

 

 

who finally sat still :fear

 

 

 

then the df spangle

who i still really dont think is good enough for my needs

but will let molt out only as i promised kaz and a friend that who i ask advice from and be stupid to ask advice and not listen so he stays for now

 

 

 

 

 

with a grey chick from a diffrent clutch

 

 

 

so thats it thats them not quiet what i was expecting butim happy with them enough to let them have second clutch 13 was the first egg and yesterday the 15 aug was the second egg

so let see what this clutch brings :hap:
