Thanks for the link - however, I didn't really find the answer to my question in that thread. All I found in there was 3 weeks. Is that 3 weeks until the hen will lay eggs after mating or 3 weeks until the eggs start hatching? I am looking for the answer to both of these questions if anyone knows it?

Question about eggs??

Hi All,
I am new to breeding ringnecks and have a question about the eggs - after mating about how long until the hen starts to lay eggs? And after the eggs are laid how long until they start to hatch? Thanks!

Yea, I have been to his site many times look at his beautiful pictures. If you have a bird that is considered an Ino then what would it visually be? I am so confused about the Ino gene and would really like to learn more about it, but I can't seem to find much information on it.

Names of colors?

I am not very advanced when it comes to names of mutations, but I am trying to learn. I have also noticed that some mutations has a few different names that people use. I am probably going to sound very stupid asking this, but what exactly is an ino - is that the same a lutino or something else? I k...

What color?

Hello all,
I think I may have found a female that I would like to purchase for my male. I was wondering if someone could help me determine what color babies this pair would produce.

Do you think that one will be tall enough though? The one she is currently in is huge and VERY tall. It is the split level double cage, there is a picture below and she is in the taller side my BHP is in the smaller side. I just measured it at 53-54 inches tall. http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n2...
