October 14, 201014 yr Well, it looks to me like you have some nice size and length and you need more width and blow in the head and more shoulder - that's how I see it anyway. From what I understand (in my 3 years experience lol) size is the hardest thing to get and putting heads on isnt so hard lol. They look lovely

Now just to find birds with those features that are available! Thanks again
October 15, 201014 yr Author Yeah she does. One of my best out of last year. Pretty happy with her. Nice size too
November 3, 201014 yr Author Just some new chicks from a cock that I thought was infertile Dad Mum is the middle one sorry about the poor photos!!
November 4, 201014 yr Wooohooo! Well done! Isnt it nice when you try and try and think there is going to be no result and all of a sudden - RESULT! You must be chuffed, lovely parents, I hope they give you chicks to match
November 4, 201014 yr Author Thanks sunnie! Yeah it was a relief! Opens a few options with him being fertile now! Think I will pair him with her next! What do you think?
November 4, 201014 yr Author Haha thanks! Are you going to the next bssa meeting? I will be joining then! wish I had my rings now tho!
November 5, 201014 yr This is the guy that has given me problems with infertile eggs! Bad photo but one of my best birds Ideas on where I could improve would be great! Dont be in too much of a hurry to blame a cock for infertile eggs. Some hens think they can go to nest and lay eggs without budgie bonking. Half the time its the hens at fault.
November 5, 201014 yr Author Haha thanks Kaz! I did start to think that the other day. 4 out of 5 was a good result! Thanks squeek!
November 5, 201014 yr Haha thanks! Are you going to the next bssa meeting? I will be joining then! wish I had my rings now tho! I will be at the next BSSA meeting. It's a shame you havent got rings, you should be able to buy them at the table the same night you join though
November 9, 201014 yr Author Just an update on my new chicks Number 1 Number 2 Number 3 Number 4 And Mum and Dad if you have forgotten Mum is a grey green from a normal line and Dad is a cinnamon cobalt from a normal/cinnamon line
November 9, 201014 yr You have bred some nice birds, I love that cinnamon cobalt cock, you can send to my place, congrats on your new chicks
November 9, 201014 yr Author Im only new to this Kaz but does that mean they will be cinnamon opaline? Sorry bare with me!haha
November 9, 201014 yr Yes if dad is cinnamon which he does look, all hens will be cinnamon and cocks will be split cinnamon, the mum is opaline right so if dad is split for opaline you may get some opaline cocks too, but you will cinnamon oplaine and cinnamon hens. Pairings Expectations Cinnamon cock × Cinnamon hen... 100% Cinnamon. Cinnamon cock × Normal hen... Normal/split Cinnamon cocks Cinnamon hens. Normal/split Cinnamon cock × Cinnamon... hen Cinnamon cocks Normal/split Cinnamon cocks Cinnamon hens Normal hens Normal/split Cinnamon cock × Normal hen... Normal/split Cinnamon cocks Normal cocks Cinnamon hens Normal hens Normal cock × Cinnamon hen... Normal/split Cinnamon cocks Normal hens Normal cock × Normal hen... Normal cocks Normal hens The same goes for opaline as it is sex linked Edited November 9, 201014 yr by splat
November 10, 201014 yr Author Thanks splat! Well the cock has a opal violet father and a dom pied sky mother.(normal cinnamon line) and the hen has a grey/green cinnamon father and a spangle opal grey green mother (normal line) So does that make it opaline?
November 10, 201014 yr Author Thanks Kaz! I have read these types are pretty common? Are they the type of bird that is more frustrating than anything? As in cross breeds?
