I always go by the weather when putting nest boxes up my usual month for putting them up is about mid Feb to early March as English weather can be unpredictable

rickyc

You should never leave the nest box in all year just put it in about 1month before breeding season which is about Feb to June in England also a 1 1/2 year old male is not always fertile until about 2 years old

rickyc

Have you checked the eggs yourself to find out if there fertile if they are they will still sit on the eggs until they hatch if they are infertile take the eggs away and she will lay again after about 12 days

rickyc

Pair of ringneck can mate up to ten times before even going in the nest box and then she might not lay straight away and if you keep checking the box every day it will put her off ,you will no when she has layed because she will stop inside the box and the cock will be feeding her

rickyc

If your going to put them in avairys make sure when it comes to breeding season you only put one pair in as the hens will end up fighting as they get very territorial

rickyc

I have bee n breeding Irn for 5 years and before breeding season starts usually around March I feed my birds all year round diet of veg seed diet with a small amount of egg food in Feb I up the egg food to quarter with veg and seed I also give a small amount of avimix supplement for extra vitamins a...

I have a cock cobalt split opaline and are going to pair it to a torquise split pied split cleartail hen will they produce double splits and opaline cleartails and in what sexes will they be I know breeding from /opaline cocks will produce hens

rickyc

rickyc

If you pair a dominant pied to any colour you will get 50 0/0 dompied 50 o/o other colour whichever you pair with

rickyc

rickyc

i have a pair of torquise cobalt irn both split for buttercup and they have bred 2 chicks this year one is a torquise and the other looks cobalt all over except for a faint torquise on its flight feathers,does anyone know if it possible to get violets off this pairing of torquise cobalts as the 2nd ...

rickyc

You can expect torquise,blue,torquise blue,all split for lacewing and blue,torquise,torquise blue lacewings

rickyc

what sex are they and how big is your avairy as some parrots will attack each other in breeding season especially hens

rickyc

the torquise x cobalt would produce torquise,torquise cobalt,cobalt, blue you did not say what colour lacewing bird

rickyc

Madas is right. Ring necks are rung at two weeks of age. It's been a while since I bred with ring necks so I will have to brush up on my routine. :mrgreen: i always put my rings on at 10 days old and check the next day to see if they have slipped off i would never leave it till 12 days before putti...

rickyc

i am thinking of pairing my 2yr old violet split wh/wt cock next year with a blue cleartail hen,will all the chicks be splits or is there a chance any of them will be full cleartail i no you can get full buttercups from 2 split buttercup birds as i bred one last year would i be able to do the same f...

rickyc

i think you have a cobalt irn by the look of the deep cobalt flight feathers

rickyc

Another possibility would b if you paired the violet cock to either a cleartail or buttercup torquise cobalt or torquise hen producing torquise,cobalt,torquise cobalt ,violet,violet cobalt or violet torquise all split or full cleartail or buttercup

rickyc

i have a cobalt hen and violet cock and are hoping to get violets, cobalts, and hopefully violet cobalts which are a beutifull purple colour this will be the first time they have paired together although they are both good parents that have breed before

rickyc

the irn might be alright kept together until about december after that they will be looking to mate and could start fighting each other especially the hens and when they have chicks each pair will defend them rigorously even trying to kill them so unless you are going to divide your avairy to 1 pair...

rickyc

now the chicks are older two of them are torquise blue lacewings because they have yellow heads the others all have black eyes and are torquise blue x2 and blue i think the ones with red eyes must be ino birds

rickyc

what would the outcome be as to the results of % for the cocks and hens from this pair

rickyc

what birds would i get if i put a cobalt hen with a violet/ whwt cock the hen is 2 years old and has bred this year the cock is 18 months

rickyc

i have had a closer look at the chicks and there are two that have plum coloured eyes one has blue pin feathers on the wings and back and the other looks like it will be torquise blue but does not have any colour on its head yet as it was the last chick to hatch but i will no more in about a week ab...

rickyc

Thanks glenn. But i dont relly understrand that % stuff. Can you make it easy i am just a beginner. Please. . . the 1.0 means a male 0.1 means a female the% is the percentage of what colours and type of chicks the parents are able of producing,the / means that the bird is split so although it is la...

rickyc

rickyc

rickyc

i am thinking about purchasing a irn proven cobalt hen does anyone no what the average asking price is and what bird would i need to breed whwt young from her

rickyc

i am unsure which parent bird is split for buttercup the cock or hen so how will i work out which chicks will be cocks and hens as both parents are the same colour

rickyc

this may be a difficult question but how do you work out that a certain percent are hens and others are cocks i am a newcomer to keeping irn and know there is loads to learn this is my first breeding season does it have anything to do with the colour of the birds

rickyc

i have a pair of torquise cobalt irn the breeder that sold the parents to me said they might be split for buttercup,they have three chicks and one of them has plum coloured eyes ,they all have small deep blue pin feathers on the edge of the wings does anyone know if this bird with the plum eyes will...
