Thx Madas, so would it be correct in saying that putting them with my chct mutation, the results could be the same as breeding them with the pallids?

pizzaguru

Trying to decide what the best way to go, I've got a harlequin pair and some pallids, curious if it would be worth breeding a Harlequin with a pallid. Been looking for a pic of one but no luck. Any advice?

Got this picture from a breeder, imported and saying it is a violetgrey. dont know the parents, only it is a female. could anybody confirm this mutation or what it maybe.

Thanks
Mike

pizzaguru

Quick question, would a turquoise cobalt pallidino show any blue in the body? The reason I ask, before his first Moult his back was blue, now he has no blue, so I'm not to sure

pizzaguru

Thanks for the replies, all is good. They started hatching yesterday, relief. ...

pizzaguru

I have this pair that layed first egg 30 days ago, this morning I heard some chirping inthe nest but no cracked eggs. Should I be concerned? Anything I can do?

Mike

pizzaguru

Thanks Molossus, will do

pizzaguru

Unfortunately no, that's where it gets tricky, I have a split aviary, flight inside/outside, so when I open the door they all fly to the back or outside.

pizzaguru

How can you be sure that the young are weaned when left with the parents to raise. They have been out of the nest box for about a month now.

Is there a visual difference between a blue ino and a cobalt ino?

Mike

pizzaguru

Thanks for the replies, I have some whwt but I'm curious on this- are the bellies of the clearheaded fallows more coloured than the whwt?

pizzaguru

I'm sure its possible, but is worth breeding a wh/wt with a clearheaded fallow? does anyone have any pics of some?

Mike

pizzaguru

A quick question, I think I know the answer but I thought I'd you guys to be sure. 'Turquoise and pastel' are they the same mutation? if they are, can they differ in appearance from country to country?

Thanks
Mike

pizzaguru

Wow, would you look at that, I'm sure glad I decided to let them go, checked the box and one egg to be found. that's is the blue chct and the cobalt/chct, excited about that pair. Then I noticed one of my other pairs has been digging in her box, quite interesting

pizzaguru

Thanks Robert,

I'll let them go and see what happens

pizzaguru

I'm not sure what to do, breeding season is normally late fall. I expanded my aviary this summer and put my pairs together. Three of them are new pairings for this year and just noticed that two of the males are performing for thier females. Question; should I let them breed and set them up again in...

pizzaguru

Thanks for the inputs, and Madas, I'm in Canada. a lot of the mutations are hard to come by here. Importing works well.

pizzaguru

I am looking to add to my chct that I have, and wondering what would be a good way to go. I've read many threads about the emerald/aqua and the opaline, curious what thoughts people have on adding any of these or another mutation into my chct? input would be appreciated, good or bad

pizzaguru

Still cant get any pics from breeder, think I'm gonna pass, Thanks thou

pizzaguru

Hi Molossus, thanks for that, didn't realize the aqua was the same as emerald. I saw the bird over video chat(to far away to see personaly), and it looks alot lighter, almost white, so I'm wondering if it is an aquablue, its possibly a pallidino ( I like the darker colours myself, but will still loo...

pizzaguru

I have a chance of getting a aquablue. but not sure if it is, are they generally lighter in colour? does anybody have a picture, so I could compare it to?

pizzaguru

Thanks Molossus, I will give a try

pizzaguru

Hi Molossus, he kept squirming, so the focus in the pics are not the greatest, http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q775/pizzaguru1986/013_zps88d36292.jpg [/img] http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q775/pizzaguru1986/012_zps058b6f92.jpg [/img] http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q775/pizzaguru1986/00...

pizzaguru

I hold one hand around to support when feeding, so this time I let go and he flopped down. He seems to scoot around chest down as well? Thoughts

pizzaguru

I'm concerned about the baby(4weeks)and how she lays and the positions of the legs, here are a few pics. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid, but any thoughts on these pics please. http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q775/pizzaguru1986/014_zps977d8247.jpg [/img] http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q77...

pizzaguru

is there a difference between a 'turquiose-ino' and a 'turquioseblue-ino ' ?

The second is 4days, I packed it down, but 2hour...

pizzaguru

Having troubles adding a picture, says my file is to big. I'm not very computer savy. While I try and figure that out, every time I pack down the bottom of the nest, she keeps digging out a little hole and keeps the chicks in there, any suggestions

pizzaguru

Hi Molossus, thanks for the reply. Went in there last night and to my surprise another chick was there(guess I need to candle alittle better), back to the intial topic, it seems the first chick is standing with both legs underneath him alittle better, is it something I still should be concerned about?

pizzaguru

First time breeding and I hope I'm just paranoid, but I have a pair that has only one chick, (2 days old), and my question is: is it to early for the chick to have splayed legs? He/she is laying in the nest belly down, with both legs pushed out. would this be normal?

pizzaguru

Excellant that clears that up, thank you. I know the aqua or emerald are also part of the turquoise mutation, but is it then a totaly different mutation, than the regular turquoise, not sure if that makes sense or not???

pizzaguru

Looking at those pics, and comparing colours, the indigoblue is a beautiful bird, I live in Canada and have never seen one here, could there be another name for that mutation? It seems some names very alittle from country to country

Mike

pizzaguru

Thank you Trabots, I can definately see the difference in those pics, so is it safe to say that the df turquoise would have alot more of the green than blue in the chest, compared to the blue turquoise? Noticed the eyes are different, are all blue turquoise like that? excuse me if I don't use the ri...

pizzaguru

So the two in the bottom, are they both turquoise blue? sorry I'm just getting started and learning as I go. How do you identify the difference between the turquoise blue and the df turquoise in adults.

Thanks
Mike

pizzaguru

What would I get if I paired a male turquoise and a female creamino

pizzaguru

Thanks Ben, understand that part of it now, so would a turquoise show any blue on its body at all? I did a search for a pic and all i can see are what seems like blue turquoise, unless I'm looking at this all wrong

pizzaguru

Ok, I'm even more confused, so there is no regular turquoise, its always classed as a blue turquoise? is that correct? on the gen calc it lets you put in just turquoise as well as turquoise blue

pizzaguru

I'm confused, in the Bastiaan book putting two turquoise together it says you get blue, turquoise blue and turquoise, but on the genetics calc you would only get turquoise? anybody know which is correct?

pizzaguru

I have two flights made up for two seperate pairs, could I leave the nest boxes in the flights all year round(if so, should I cover the holes?) or should I remove them after breeding season

pizzaguru

Thanks for the reply, but I can't enter turquoise as a split?

pizzaguru

Played with the gen calc for abit, and am not quit sure if I got this right on how to enter a 'violet turquoise' , is it 'violet turquoise split to blue', or 'violet turquoise', Thanks in advance

pizzaguru

ok, i think I'm getting the jist of this. I have a turquoise viloet pallid hen, so although she shows just the violet looking colour, and not the deep blue looking violet, (is this because of the pallid?) would she still be classed as a 'turquoise blue violet pallid'?? Hope this makes sense

pizzaguru

This may seeem like a simple question, but I keep seeing peolple quoting different things. Is there a difference between a Viloet and a Blue Violet?

pizzaguru

Awesome, thanks. With it being like that, that really opens up more breeding options. Time to put the thinking cap on.

pizzaguru

A violet you put in 'violet blue', so I have a violet turquiose pallid hen, would you enter it as: violet blue turquoise pallid or violet turquoise pallid on the genetics calculator? Thanks

pizzaguru

I've got a line on a DF Blue Violet, a SF Blue Violet and a blue, all males. I have a Dark Green Violet and a Violet Pallid Turquoise, both hens. as I can only aford one of these males right know, what do think would be the best male to get, and to pair with which one of my females. What would they ...

pizzaguru

General question with the certificate, it also mentions the colour(dark green violet), is that from the dna? if so, would it ever mention if there was a split involoved?

pizzaguru

Thanks for the help, I'm sure I'll have more questions as I move along. Heres one, on the genetic calc, how would I put violet, would it be violet(sf) or violet(sf) split blue?

pizzaguru

Trying to get the hang of this, how would you put in the albino on the genetic calc, is it: ino split blue or blue ino

Thanks in advance

pizzaguru

Thanks for the reply,

so if I breed both birds with blue, would the violet dark green with blue produce greens only?

and the violet turquoise pallid would produce turguoise blue violets?

Thanks
