Okay great thanks for the help. You are telling me to pair the DF violet with a violet mauve but is that a better option than pairing it with a violet cobalt? My goal is to get the most purple looking bird possible. Thanks for the help!

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could post a picture of a DF violet cobalt? I haven't been able to find one online. Also I have a DF violet that I want to pair with a violet cobalt so I can get the DF violet cobalt mutation. How can you tell apart a violet cobalt from a DF violet? Everything I have...

Hey guys thanks for the help!

The DF lavender looks grayish to me! I was hoping it would look more violet. The SF actually looks prettier and more violet to me.

Hello, I have a violet split cinnamon cock with a violet cinnamon hen that are sitting on 5 eggs. I am hoping someone here can show me a picture of a SF violet cinnamon and a DF violet cinnamon so I can see the difference between the two. I have seen the difference between a SF and a DF violet but I...

Ok thanks for the reply. I will post a picture within the next couple days. Another question... I am going to pull the 5 chicks to hand feed here at 2 weeks. I plan on using the paper cup method. It will be my first time hand feeding but Ive done plenty of research so I feel pretty good about it. Ho...

Also, I went to check the box today and it looks like the few feathers that are coming in are white/cream colored. The others all have seem to have darker feathering coming in. Does this basically mean its going to be an albino or do blue and violet pallids start out with white/cream feathers?

Thanks

Okay thanks. What about the possibility of the male being split to pallid?

Hello, My violet cock (not split to anything as far as I know) and blue dominant pied hen (at least thats what I was told she was when I bought her) had 5 chicks. They are about 2 weeks old. One has red eyes. What does this mean. Does it simply mean the baby is going to be a dominant pied? Thanks fo...

Okay great! One last thing.... So say my foster pair is a week or two behind my violet pair in the laying schedule. If I wait until the foster pair has finished laying and remove all the eggs and put the violet pairs eggs in her nestbox will she freak out if she only sits on them for a little over a...

Okay thanks a lot especially to you rod038! A couple more questions or clarifications if you dont mind... So if I want I do NOT have to take all the eggs from my foster pairs nest correct? Say shes sitting on 2 fertile eggs I can just add 2 from my violet pair and not worry that she will freak out c...

Hey guys! I have 5 pairs of IRN's including some violets as of this year. I was hoping to foster the eggs that I get from my violets to some of my other pairs so they could double clutch. Could I get some advice and recommendations on how to go about doing this? Does the new pair accept this type of...

Hello, This might seem like a silly question but I am new to this! I got one baby out of my pair of ringnecks and he is now 4 weeks old. I am planning on letting the parents feed him until he leaves the nestbox. My question is: Can I take him out from the box from time to time so he can have human i...

Hm ok. Well I will have to ask the breeder. Let's assume the mother is just blue then. What colors will I get? Obviously blues but could I get lutinos or albinos as well??

Hello,

What color babies will I get from the following?

Male is blue from lutino father and blue split to albino mother. The female is also blue from a green/blue father and an albino hen.

Thanks guys!

I am not an expert but I would not have IRN's with cockatiels and budgies in the aviary of the size you mentioned. The IRN's would be fine in UK weather as long as they had a shelter for the winter. If you really wanted IRN's perhaps you could divide the aviary into 2 sections. One with cockatiels a...

Thanks for the replies guys!
So if I can get a hold of the breeder of the parents of these sisters I should ask him if the father was split to ino? If he says yes then my albino DOES carry the gene for masking violet? If he says no then she doesnt? Or am I not understanding this corectly?

Okay great! So you are telling me that since my violet hen is from a a violet female and a blue male she is 100% violet. It is safe for me to assume that with her genetic background (parents) if I pair her up with a blue cock I will get 50% violets and 50% blues correct?

Thanks!

Thanks! If we know the parents of the violet hen were a violet(female) and a blue(male) what does that make her? I guess what is she split to and how does that change the outcome of the 50% violet 50% blue babies. If they were to sleep near each other in seperate cage would I want to introduce the m...

Hey guys, I have the possibility of doing the following and I would like any advice from other people who have experience with Indian Ringnecks! I would like to purchase a 4 year old violet hen who is somewhat tame and has been housed with her albino sister since they were young. My friend has a blu...

Great thanks. I am still waiting on another picture to put up. I have another questions for you guys. I could possibly get a violet hen. One of her parents was a violet and the other 50% violet (im guessing this means it carried the gene but wasnt visually violet). Knowing this information could I g...

Ok great thanks. Yea your dollar is better!
The seller is asking $320. I will wait for more pictures from him and I will post them on here before I make a decision.

thanks again

I am in the US.

Okay thanks.
I will post more pictures of the male once I get them from the seller.
How much should I expect to pay for a pair like this? I don't want to overpay!

Hey, Thanks for the reply! I will try to get more pictures from the seller. Can you explain to me what the different possible outcomes mean? Sorry if I sound a little stupid but basically I would like to know the basic colours I would get from the chicks. All the pallid, ino stuff doesnt mean much t...

Hey guys take a look at this picture and if you could answer my questions/concerns that would be great! http://img858.imageshack.us/i/ringnecks.jpg/ I am thinking about buying this pair and I wanted some feedback from other people who know more about ringnecks. Clearly this is a pair right? They are...

Thanks for the reply.
Well they are both 4 years old from my understanding and neither has a ring.
So they have to be females right?

Hey guys. New poster here! I have an important question. I purchased 2 indian ringnecks last summer. Both are females but they are very attached and are always together in my aviary. I had a nestbox in their aviary which looking back now might not have been a good idea... One of them has gone in the...
