The first egg

August 10, 2012

The first egg of the season was laid this morning by Bell. Dusty and Bell sit in the nest together throughout the breeding season. Dusty is my only male that sits in the nest with Bell most of the time keeping her company. Here we go. Hold on.

Preparing for the fall breeding season

July 24, 2012

It's time to start up the breeding program for the fall season. I usually put the fall breeding pairs in their separate cages around mid summer. This way they can get use to their new surroundings and get ready to mate. This is also a good time to introduce new breeding pairs. This way they have time to bond before the rest of the flock starts to breed.

Now that I have slimed the flock down a bit all six pairs can breed at once. This season I'm going to be introducing one new breeding pair Ze...

Chick update

May 2, 2012

Eddy and Alba's chicks

The chicks are doing great. They are still in the nest being fed by Alba and Eddy. The smallest chick still looks kinda like a little pincushion. But the three older chicks are feathering out nicely. I will start hand feeding them soon.

#1 lutino

#2 albino

#3 albino

#4 normal green

Billy and Annie's chick

Only one of their eggs hatched. The others where duds. The chick is still very pink and doesn't have its pin feathers just yet.

Spring chicks

April 25, 2012

Eddy and Alba's nest
They have laid another clutch and now have four chicks.
#1 lutino chick
#2 albino chick
#3 albino chick
#4 I'm not yet sure what this chicks color will be. It's pin feathers are yellow and it's eyes are dark. So I'm guessing a normal green or maybe spangle or dominant pied green.

Billy and Annie's nest
Their last clutch of chicks is ready to go home. If anyone is interested in the chicks please contact me.
#1 Opaline, blue, violet male
#2 Dominant pied, yellow face type two, blu...
