Some Recent Chicks

Here are some of our chicks from before the Winter hiatus...

 

1 is a DF Spangle cock, and all the others are hens.

 

3 of them are from our first pair of Show bred budgies (A Sky Opaline hen and a Grey Green/Blue Spangle Cock), we couldn't believe the size difference in the chicks. They seem huge to us, and we just love them. I'd be interested to hear your comments on them, because we have no idea if the quality is good, bad or otherwise.

 

The others are from a spangle nest, including our first violet spangle a lovely surprise.

and the grey opaline is nice too :sadsorry: and the spangle on the swing looks good too. Is that him next to the df spangle.

The spangle and df spangle both need more feather but the spangle is still nice.

Hi Splat,

 

The Violet Spangle and the DF Spangle's are pet types. It's the others I'm curious about.

 

All 3 you mentioned are from the same nest (althought the Grey Opaline was fostered out and raised in a different nest). They are all only 4 months old now and from our first show bred pair. it is the same Spangle on the swing and next to the DF Spangle.

okay but I really like the opaline hen is she cobalt, she actually looks sky from here :rolleyes:
