okay i had this pair i was just playing with trying to see if cock was split to anything and also they paired up and shes very fussy and older so i figgured why not shes a nice hen for him just really didnt want / cin cocks but hey what ever if bad cull if good well i gained really

and so here are the chicks

 

mum n dad

dad doesnt look much but his blood is very well bred

 

two greys and a sky blue

 

 

 

 

chick one grey hen i think

 

chick two grey ??

 

three sky blue ??

 

 

so i will start to follow these as the first grey is looking really really broard a crossed the head and good handful

Nice Birds, mum is a nice bird, and the cock matches her well.

So because you got normals, that means that the dad isn't split anything sex-linked?

no thats not correct

well in thery yes but in reality no

he may be split but i just didnt get one this round

so i will leave go aain and see what second round produces

 

even if second round comes out all normal chances are he still could be split but probability of it is less as he was paired with a cin hen so you would thing that in over two rounds provided i get more chicks next time he would be not split

but still i wont be happy hes / nothing untill i get at least 4 clutches out of him and at least 10 normal chicks

(not in row and not nesacerily with same hen

but if he is / nothing

hes the bird ive been looking for for my albino lines and lacewing lines

Either you have dainty hands or these chicks

are a whopping great handful !!

 

 

I think you are going to surprise the *** out of your fellow club members in a very short space of time GB !!!

i must say im very pleased with my last seasons decisions of pairings

these chicks the one you have reshown particular

is huge i must say

and positive its a hen

sky blue last chick

 

 

 

 

 

grey chick number two

 

 

 

 

 

number one

this chick is quiet large its as long as my hand already and only coming 4 weeks

good and heavy also

 

 

 

Humungous chicks Cant wait to see them all grown up

I agree That last chick looks like a handful!

 

....have you been slipping them steriods? haha joking.

Humungous chicks Cant wait to see them all grown up

i know well john did say to me when he gifted me the cock that he was not anything to look at but that he would help me get started

and i waited a whole year before breeding with him

i just never really thought i had a hen good enough

but i dont think that would make a difference

 

 

steroids lol

man id hate to of feed these chicks steroids as they'd get stuck in the boxes trying to get out the whole

letting mum in dad go another round i think

those chicks look good GB

letting mum in dad go another round i think

 

I think thats a very good idea

me thinks too

 

cheers dave im quiet exited about them

lattly though i must admit some the chicks comming out have made me look at my normal sized show bird chicks and want to just move them on

its very hard when some are so so good and others are very average

i have to keep saying to myself their just fry in pans as so i dont move something that may actually be very good on as its small looking or thin

very hard to do

well here they are the greys and blue chicks all hens :fear

all very nice

 

 

first blue hen (sky)

 

 

her at backnext to my grey/inos chick a cock

:glare:

 

thanks kaz i think their okay

 

as for lossing any ...

no not with my babys

in fact i prefer to do it like that as when i change seed and soft food i quiet often forget doors

my babys are usually fairly tame and dont try fly out cage and im in the house with other doors secured a safe room if they did get out

 

i also leave doors open to my breeding pairs when feeding and cleaning comming back and forward to their cage with diffrent things for them

so they are all quiet use to me and the door being open a lot

 

 

i would highly recommend that no one did this bar me my birds have been accustom to this since for ever and would be a huge risk for anyone to try this .... i do it only simply as i know i can but their are some birds that see freedom and thats it gone but not mine they are inside anyhow
