Posted April 14, 200619 yr I was going to take the hen out today as she is a 'non-producer'. I grabbed the nest box and voila! I found a baby!! I didn't even know they had eggs!!! :ausb: This is the parents: This is the baby (do I need to be concerned about the air bubble?): What are the breeding expectations from this pair? I don't know their history as they were bought birds. . Edited May 13, 200619 yr by karen
April 22, 200619 yr Author Took this photo this afternoon, baby looks like it will have it's mothers colouring:
April 22, 200619 yr Oh what a pretty bird you have there. She is going to be stunning when she fully feathers. Keept the pics coming!
April 22, 200619 yr gorgeous Karen, I would assume that they would all be blues and opalines - unless there are hidden genes. I love the last picture of the parents snuggling.
April 22, 200619 yr That is the CUTEST BABY SHOT EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not even joking! Look at his lil down feathers, and his lil bumbum. Then his gorgeous colour coming through! ...awwww Kirby
April 23, 200619 yr Author Kirby! I do agree with you though. I can't remember how many babies have hatched in the 20+ years I've bred birds but this little guy in my opinion is the cutest baby ever! and I specialise in the ino's! :(Laughing out loud):
