There rippers Julie,you should be proud well done.

yes very nice

i spesh love the violet boy :} but you knew that

I love your birds splat! They look great!

 

 

Thanks Phill, Gb and Jimmy, the young were hatched last Nov 2009 and I double ringed until I ran out of red rings around December, the cobalt spangle has a blue ring but silly me cut the blue rings off the white boys so I could show them at the young bird shield, so now they are adults. The first white boy came 7th with his suffusion, the other one didn't go. The suffusion lets them down anyway.

The grey opaline spangle is their aunty, she is half sister to their fathers father, my yellow df spangle.

 

I really don't think I bred any thing as good this year gone. BUT i am hoping to do better this breeding season

what happened to your little split dilutes

your not culling any them are you?? if you are well i wouldn't mind discussing

i have beautiful dilute cock and no hen for him if i use him to make splits im going to be waiting till 2013 till i get the dilute needed to put into my albinos :{ needs to be blue serried too

 

id love to see them chicks now all the ones from around that time if you have time for pics :}

I have already culled some of them but there are still a few there. Some turned out good because of the cock but the dilute hen is a bit narrow in the head and she passed the on, but Geoff reckons most them are pretty good.

Geoff gave me a dilute cock, he is from the same breeder as my hen, the cock is very nice but small. I am putting them together this year so I will get dilutes for sure.

I will take photos of mum, future dad tomorrow and last years chicks for you.

Busy today, making relish and then I have to go and sort the birds are for our meeting tonight.

I have some really good split clearbodies.

you got selections tonight

well good luck hun hope you get some in

 

and if you cull any more of the /dilutes let us know please or if you know anyone with / dilute hens or a dilute hen id be interested to know cheers

Thank you Gb but No we don't have selections tonight GB, just a club show. I won the last one with one of my blue ringers and another member a Champion won the unbroken cap class.

 

I think our selections are 1st of March.

I won't do much good tonight GB because I cut and pulled one tail on each bird and now most of them have lost the other tail so nearly all my birds are tailess.

I just hope they all grow back by March. I just started spraying them for the March Shows, so they are not in good condition yet either.

Will do about the dilutes
