Posted July 8, 201014 yr I just set up a bigger kindie cage for some babies as they were in breeder cages before this.....and I needed the breeder cages back Here's some of the babies Plucka Dilute dommie pied Grey green green greywing spangle grey spangle
July 8, 201014 yr Author There all cute but I like the grey, green From a Jan Mc Mahon dom pied hen ( Chidel/Gearing ) and a Splat cobalt blue cock. Edited July 8, 201014 yr by KAZ
July 8, 201014 yr Grey green I know I'm not a show breeder, but to me, this guy really stands out! It's almost like he has a huge fur coat draped over him. Would that be considered "good feather"? I don't see what you guys call "directional feathers" above his cere, and I'm not sure how you would describe his mask and spotting, but over all, wouldn't this be one of those ones that you get excited over, and look forward to seeing how he moults out? Maybe someone could do a critique of his fine points, for those of us interested in learning?

So far the wing markings arent all that crisp and refined, but the dads are like that too. Has a good mask and spots still a baby so we will see how it turns out.
July 9, 201014 yr This is directional feather bad line drawing by me, but maybe you get it . I think I do get it. Directional feather means going in all directions? Before, I thought it meant going out in a sideways direction, like my attempt at line drawing: So, in other words, this baby's got it, right?
July 9, 201014 yr So, in other words, this baby's got it, right? Yeah Alright! Now we just have to be patient until he moults!

July 9, 201014 yr Greg really likes that one, I showed him the photos on here and he saw that one and said wow that is a nice bird and I said his white boy is the dad. I like that one the best too. Forgot to say last year he had 2 young, a white DF spangle and a grey spangle hen just like the one you have bred, and she was a cracker she had directional feather galore but she died at 8 weeks somewhere around there poor little thing.

Got photos of the other baby ? Pity the mother to these was such a #$@#%^ or we could have tried a second round
July 10, 201014 yr maybe later on she might come around But in the mean time try him with a different hen and see what you get, the brother here is throughing good stuff just like his dad
July 10, 201014 yr Author maybe later on she might come around But in the mean time try him with a different hen and see what you get, the brother here is throughing good stuff just like his dad He needs a rest, so I will let him recuperate and try him again in a few months.

July 11, 201014 yr Author very nice greywing baby you must have big greywing's that like the size off me normal man big bird well done Not yet....well what I mean is they are the size of normals but not the biggest normals. Need some good size normal hens to breed to the greywing cocks to get better splits from. Edited July 11, 201014 yr by KAZ
