these are my latest pairs to be put down, im expecting big thngs from them here they are tell me what you guys think;

 

pair 1: light green normal cock

and the dark green normal hen

and pair 2:

grey opaline cock

and dark green hen:

more pairs to come. with a bit of luck i should get some nice chicks from these pairs, i have a couple more pairs whom i will put down just before xmas when they are just over a year old;)

Lovely birds. I love they green pair, there is something just too cute about them!

I could so use more normal hens! Really like the look of the top dark green hen, could make some gorgeous babies with her and my stud cock. Oooh yes... Send her down we can split the chicks

haha yeah shes easily my best bird dean, what does your stud cock look like?

He's the one im building my family line from, the cinnamon opaline cobalt cock pictured in my thread about DF rung birds 2010/2011 breeding season. Pictures really dont do him justice, he's very very long as well as standing tall and having a straight backline, massive blow, width across the cere and long mask with loads of large spots. I really only got him because he was a french moulter and hadnt bred for the owner because he is missing some flights.

 

Thats not a problem with certain methods of breeding I am able to employ when the need arises.... as evidenced by the fact he will likely produce me some 20 offspring before the year end if all goes well.

oh yes i know the one now hes an awesome looking bird i was impressed by the photo you had of him in your thread

 

 

went into aviary today after work to check on birds and this fellow had passed away, im pretty gutted :sad:

Sorry to hear about your bird. How old was he?

Sorry about your loss he was a lovely bird.

Good luck with the others, you should get some nice chicks.

thanks splat amd jb he was an 09 bird, some things are out of our control i guess

i have just put a new pair down in lieu of the grey cock dying will try mt best to get some pics up tommorrow, also i could be purchasing some new birds from a top breeder within the next few weeks so exciting times! apart from that i have returned two pairs to the flights after having a successful round they were only pet types though but the experience i gained from breeding them will help me when my exhibition types get going, the green pair appear to have bonded well and the hen appears to spend alot of her time within the nesting box so fingers crossed there, the new pair are a cinn green hen x dilute green cock by the way

my newest pairs, i just brought these today tell me what you guys think?

a nice grey green cock

and

a nice little grey cinn opaline

Looking good. Are they grinter birds? How old are they?
