Hi all got five minutes, thought I'd post some photos of a few of the pairs I have breeding at the moment.

 

This pair have now finished and their babies are fostered under another pair.

greygreen spangle hen and greygreen clearbody cock

 

and their previous clutch which have bloodied noses from a hawk hassling them.

 

 

One of their fostered babies, greygreen spangle opaline clearbody

Next pair, cobalt dominant pied cock and yf grey opaline dominant pied hen, this pair is also on their last round and is fostering babies from the first pair.

and their two babies yf dominant pied and cinnamon yf dominant pied

 

Next pair also on last round, hope to foster her new babies to the fresh pairs.

Dark green spangle dominant pied cock and yf cinnamon dominant pied cobalt hen.

their babies so far.

 

I will leave it at that for the moment and put the fresh pairs on when I get some spare time.

 

Cheers Jenny

They look great, thanks for sharing

nice budgies. hope that hawk goes away

 

and good luck with your breeding

 

Georgie,

Thanks guys

Georgie the hawk has been causing havoc for months I wish it would go away too.

 

Here are some of the fresh pairs

 

yf cinnamon violet/lacewing cock and yf lacewing dominant pied hen

 

 

Greywing dark green dominant pied cock and yf cinnamon dominant pied hen

 

 

yf grey/ clearbody cock and not sure on the hen but ino of some sort.

 

 

These three pairs are sitting on eggs at the moment, really keen to see what I get from the last pair.

 

Cheers Jenny

yf cinnamon violet/lacewing cock and yf lacewing dominant pied hen

they will be so so pretty the chicks from these

your birds are beautiful

some your dom pied hens are df doms you knew that right i think you do but if not

it means you dont need to put a pied cock to them just a norm-you will still get all dom pieds

Yeah thanks GB, can't wait to see what I get from that pair.

As for the Dom pieds some of my pieds you would swear were double factor and prove not to be so I reserve my judgement until they have a couple of broods.

 

Cheers Jenny

You have some really nice chicks there Hilly.

Yeah thanks GB, can't wait to see what I get from that pair.

i know df doms are ment to give all dom pieds but i know a few that have breed normals every now and again so..... thats how i got my df dom he breed a normal in a clutch of 6 and owner didnt want him after that

ihave no idea how that works but

maybe combination pied rather than true dom could explain it i dont know

Thanks Splat

GB I posted a couple of photos of pieds that both had a non pied parent so maybe there is some sort of modifier happening or recessive in the mix.

 

sorry what do you mean by both had a none pied parent as in the young look like df pies ???

 

could be rec pied playing a part but do you have any rec pieds at all ?

 

if you have a df pied and a normal paired you should get all pied chicks

 

df and sf pied gives pied sf pied df and normal chicks

 

df and df give i think dont quote me as its morning here df pied whole nest

Hi GB I mean that the young can't be df pieds as they only have one pied parent but they look like df pieds as they have only few markings.

Yes I may have some recessive pied background in some birds so it is possible some will be carrying the gene.

 

Cheers Jenny
