Nah not mine TAZ . I picked up a handy spangle at ATB Mornington a week ago...1 of DB's...

Worth dropping in every now and again for a look...Were they Tassie rung birds ? They quite often get S.A. birds in too...

Called into the F1 stud a few weeks ago.. There was not a lot on offer...

TWISTED rung with BCT as far as i could see cinnamon sky blue hen with dropped wings also alright 2 or 3 lacewings bit small but isnt MEL M looking for lacewings still think i should have taken the cinnamon to go with the 100 give or take 1 that we have this does not include the other 40 or so Cinnamon Opaline............gees to see a birdroom of greens..........what age is the BD bird...............wont let us have any more reckons ours is as good or better than his..............lookig for a couple of recessive hens for a bloke up here that im trying to get serious (at this stage is only into recessive pieds) does not want to pay big dollars colour not important prefer 12 to 24 months of age ............HH2 cannot help .........Let us know if you know of any....TAZ D

Yeah Mel is always chasing Lacewings. The DB bird is a blue ringer, Cinn Opal spangle grey.

Have only just started back in birds myself so nothing to sell at this stage. I breed reccessives but only have

A few breeding pair purchased from HH2 and a couple of babies that I have bred this year.

Will keep my eyes and ears open though.

I thought I would note to that I have never had paterson curse grow here

It is real bad around Numurkah, nearly in every paddock, even in the vacant lot next to my mums. It is a curse.

Pretty from a distant but not for any farmer, they hate it the most. It is poison to horses if they eat a lot of it, well that is what we were told when my son had a horse, we use to run around the paddock and pull out any we could fine. Probably not true but at least the owner of the paddock had it no Patterson curse in there. lol

Hey Taz did she look like this ?

Hen is blue ringer.

 

2 nice cock birds there. Cinnamon light green and cinnamon opaline Green or grey green. Both a bit too old, black and green rings.

A handy looking Dom pied hen also, but had a large lump or cyst near its vent.

Hi Devil,

 

I hate those b#$st*^ds that don't fly. My flights are high and long and birds have to fly. I feed plenty of oats and I don't get fat birds - because they fly. The damn things have wings because they fly. Make 'em fly and keep 'em fit.

 

Pleased to know that the Melton birds are doing a good job for you.

 

Cheers

A very wise man gave me some excellent advise as a first year Novice, "Renee", he said, "do not spend more than $350 on a bird. Just because they are more expensive does not mean they will live and breed for you".

 

And I never have.

 

But it still hurts when your purchases fall off the perch- I have had one not last the week .... another breed mostly deformed chicks ..... and another not breed at all .... or was an internal layer .... yes the list in endless.

RENEE it sure does hurt we upgrade with $$$ made from our existing birds it can be an uphill battle down here as there is a limited matket fot culls especially some of the pet shop type....................aaaahhhh well there is always next year.............just living the dream Cheers TAZ D

OUCH! So you have to wait until next year? .... that sucks BIG time. Commiserations.

 

I am not so disciplined and rely on the generosity of my loving hubby.

Oh hmm well that's a tricky one, how about my Albino line, oh yes and Lutes didn't so too well and come to think of it neither did my Double Factor Spangles - White and Yellow nor did the Recessive Pieds either or my Normal Green line ....

 

In fact NONE of my top birds did the business for me this year AT ALL.

 

ps it is a bit young to be developing a cyst don't you think?!
