Re: ID and suggested outcome please

Danny Your bird is not an Albino. I think (unless your pics lie) the 2 parents are visual Dom. Edged or Dilute. or similar Your blue chick is same as parents however your white bird i think it is Double Factor Edge Dilute (let's call it Dilute) It is still bizzare how the breeder told you they bred...

Re: new to breeding my progress so far.

Sorry no pics yet because nothing to take pics of ! but I must say I am beginning to forget what my hen looks like she rarely ventures out of the nest box and when she does venture out as soon as she see's anyone boom she shoots strait back in ! she appears to be very dedicated to her eggs. On that ...

Re: help me please...

at a guess I would say the white one could possibly be female however at 2 years old it may go through another molt and get a ring its just not that simple if it was 3 or 4 years old I would say female for sure, and as for the blue it's just not possible to tell the sex by a photo if your very famil...

Re: help me please...

At the age of your birds it would be almost impossible to tell what sex they are as male (cock) ringnecks don't usually get their black ring come in around their neck till at least 2 years old sometimes slightly older. so In theory you could be lucky and have a pair or you might have 2 the same only...

Re: new to breeding my progress so far.

yup my aviary is set up so that it has 2 complete separate areas it has an enclosed area where the feed and nesting box are (necessary due to weather here in NZ) and a flight which can be completely shut off from the enclosed area. I have tried tapping on the side of the box but this doesn't even ge...

Re: new to breeding my progress so far.

thanks for the reply my concern is that the hen doesn't like me going anywhere near the nest box and on the rare occasion she is out of the box and see's me coming she dives strait back in and refuses to come out. As she has already been stressed by the move which was a 4-5 hour drive in a small tra...

Re: Lead Poisoning ?

I'm pretty sure lead used in pencils has been replaced by graphite these days as it's a lot less toxic. so hopefully Blue should be fine however maybe keep your pencils away from him in the future :idea:

Re: ID and suggested outcome please

at least one of them must be split gray if this is "correct", as the breeder I bought them off tells me they threw a couple of grays last season.
would this be a correct assumption ??? :?:
