Hello Everyone,

You might remember me from the "hmmm still learning what's up with this chick???" Thread. Huey and Trixie (as I now named the mother ) are doing fine and I wanted to share a few updated photos of the chick. The chick is now in a cage with a chick that broke her leg and 2 new blue babies. They are all very well behaved chicks and are not loud at all, they also do not try to bite me ever. So I figured they would all be great cage mates. Which they are, they get along so well. I also wanted to share that Huey's sister hatched out a surprise chick as well. I have taken some pictures of 3 of Huey's sisters and their mates. One of which has 4 chicks with her now, one of those chicks are a pretty nice color. So sorry in advance for the picture heavy post!!!!

 

Here is the pretty chick of Huey and Trixie's with the 3 new cage mates:

okay now here is the Pictures of Huey's sister and her mate whom I assume is Trixie's brother because I bought Trixie and the 3 Yellow males together and they all looked related.

Here is the Male:

Here are the male and female together:

MORE PICTURES TO COME IN A FEW MINUTES.........

I just wanted to quickly share photos of Huey and Trixie's 2 other brothers and sisters whom are paired up. Just to see if you guys see any more traits in the family genes!!

 

Here is Bozette, Huey's sister...I hand fed her as a baby:

Here is her Mate Cookie, Whom is Trixie's brother, as you can see he has a lil darker markings than his siblings:

Bozette and Cookie had a clutch not too long ago and they all came out very dark and stripey. Kind of like their siblings babies Chick 1 and Chick 2 above, though darker.

And Last but not least is Sugar and Spice. Sugar is the green one (Huey's other sister) and Spice is the yellow (Trixie's other brother). Sugar and Spice have bred several times and have had several eggs which she sits on and everything. The eggs never hatch and when putting them under an egg candle they are always infertile. So I am thinking there is a problem with one of them. But never the less they are 2 awesome birds. Hence the name Sugar, she is sweeter than sweet!!!

 

Oh sorry Don't know why those pictures didn't show up....Let me know if the link doesn't work. It worked when I clicked on them. Thanks for letting me share my birdies with you!!!!

Hi, some lovely chicks there. If Sugar is laying eggs then I'd say the problem would be Spice, she is doing her bit but he seems to be lacking. Try her with another Cock bird to see if that helps. (I'll leave the genetics to someone else)

Thank You!!! And yes I have heard the problem may be the males....I wasn't sure if that was true!! thanks!!! Someone told me that the chick is a full body greywing or a cinnimon. Not sure?
