September 10, 201014 yr Fantastic chicks !!! And a few hens amongst them too Love the photos Splat, and the chicks are really something to be proud of. Well done !!! You certainly know your stuff :thankyou:
September 10, 201014 yr Author Thanks Kaz, I think there are going to be some birds there, I think that dark spangle is going to be something really special. He has a massive head. That 1st grey spangle is looking good too so will just have to wait and see :thankyou:
September 10, 201014 yr Grey cin sp Cobalt opaline spangle Cobalt opaline hen Dk green spangle I love the pin feather look on these! Especially the 'directional feather' on the last one. (Did I get that right?)
September 11, 201014 yr Yes Finnie I have big hopes for the green spangle Agreed, very nice. Look forward to another photo in 10 days or so.
September 11, 201014 yr Author Thankyou everyone but really they are nothing special but I am hoping the green spangle turns out good. I haven't bred that winner this year so far, but that's okay because I think good stock for next is better. I have got a few really good young birds but some are heavily flecked (can't show them). have some really good blues but will have to wait and see how they develop, That cobalt that died the other day was a hopeful. I have my standards higher now as I am Intermediate now, or soon. Really dissapointed that I haven'y bred any worth while DF spangles. I have 2 chicks out of the yellow df sp cock all year and 1 died today. And i only have 1 chick out of his son the white DF sp really dissapointed. Those 2 birds throw my best young. But the violet is doing a good job this year.
