Do a search in this forum, there's lots of info on handraising, you should try to learn as much as you can before taking them out. I suggest in your case to take them out at 3 weeks old. some take it at 2 but i don't recommend the first time you do it. You need to know: how many times and when to f...

If you have never hand-fed a parrot before, i suggest you should not remove them. Better to have parent raised chicks then dead chicks and a sour experience. You will need to be prepared with a brooder to keep them warm, tools such as syringe, spoon , formula etc Try to find a breeder that has done...

Chienderace, Thank you for the finley descriptive post. Let me see if i can apply it to 1 of my pairs i'm thinking of. "Missing the train" Male did not have the courage to approach hen, nowhere near her, (this is the part where male did not fertilise the yolks/eggs as they were formed) i ...

It's an addiction and you just need your daily fix to see if they have spontaneously grown feathers overnight. I currently have 16 babies on the go so you can imagine what I'm going through. The suspense is killing me, and patience is in short supply. Very well put! :lol: I used all mine up in July...

Kappa,

Alpha male is just a brain exercise, can't even categorise as a theory.
I believe Shey mentions hen or male becuase she thinks in terms of:
males to be edged
hens to be normal

is that so Shey?

PS: Shey, yes it does seem to be a hen, i can see black feathers popping, right?

Ring0Neck

the larger ones about 2-4 days
smaller 1-2 days old

Ring0Neck

Nothing you can do now, best to just let them be.
The cracked egg sounds fertile but normally cracked eggs end up with die in shell, unless you lucky.
You could candle the other 2 eggs if they look dark leave everything as is.
if clear let us know

1.0 Blue Violet Turquoise male to a 0.1 Blue hen.

for the male
tick: violet sf; turquoise; and split blue (3 ticks all up)

Ring0Neck

"SA deep" green, is it a hen opaline? or is it just the flash?
looking forward to more pics as it feathers up.
Any luck with df SA deep blue? or too early to tell?

very exciting times ;)

Ring0Neck

Left leg or Right Leg?

It really depends if you are right handed or left handed and how you handle the bird.
after a while you do it without even thinking about it.

Ring0Neck

I can say that my pairs that i checked laid late evening.
Although, the few that double clutched started to understand the rutine and were waiting for me to go through and then go in the box.

so i had to do a third check to make sure that the eggs is and was there.

Ring0Neck

A somewhat predictable pattern begins to emerge

Obviously unobvious

Vote what you think it is , then do a test

Check nestbox anytime before 2pm & do another check after sunset just before getting too dark to go in there.
share your findings with us.

Shey,

Enjoying the breeding fever?

I won't say anything, but i stand by what i said when you got the birds, time will tell
Patience

if there is such a thing when breeding ringx.

Ring0Neck

Thanks guys. Second and a very probable reason is new & or young new birds . Most of the breeders that experienced delays have also made changes to their breeding stock. about 30% new birds or higher. It is fairly common for breeders to bring in new blood in a small qts without too much disrupt...

When do you think the hen lays her eggs?? Choose which you think is the correct answer.

Kappa, The fertility rate was low for early starers and got better toward Aug/Sept. ; rather dissapointing. 0 DIS and 1 DAH about 6 or so days (suspect parent's fault) - acceptable results . still waiting for 5 pairs of CT mutation to lay thier first egg of the season; at least 1 is visual ct bird ...

Hi David, Thank for the data. It helps when previous years records exist to compare against. What i am suspecting ATM: It has not been proven or any studies done (that i am aware of) with IRNs to say if they can predict change in weather pattern such as drought and therefore alter their breeding re...

Ring0Neck

Kappa You are spot on!! That is the best way to describe the season for us as well, a few breeders in Brizi i know and keep in touch. we're talking a pool of 80-100 pairs here. I drove only 1 1/2 hours up north yesterday to Meet Ron R. and spoken to Ron M on the phone and both have had a normal goo...

Ring0Neck

Thanks for the pics.
Albino it is.

best of luck with the breeding and let us know what you get from them, should be as Shey/Sky said: albino hens and blue males

Ring0Neck

Lol

I have 2 monitors ...

It's my eyes

know a good optom. ?

i just need the "Doc" to remove Emerald out of my eyes

Ring0Neck

In that pic your male seems as if the head is pure white but the rest of the body a washed out color, greyish blue
in which case he would make a candidate for pallidino or light phase pallid.
Is the bird all white overall uniform white or more like what i described above?

Ring0Neck

Do you have another pic of the male?

Ring0Neck

Yea, more pics would be nice. Most breeders don't have df parblue for a reason: they use parblues to higher mutations, not having time to pair parblue X parblue however, a remote or smaller breeder will rotate his own stock and chances of df birds are more likely to be found there. on the other sid...

Ring0Neck

I agree with Bennjamin, hence my bold prediction.
however, pics are not the best so there's a chance the hen is turquoise blue

Ring0Neck

Turquoise blue

Ring0Neck

In the event you have a pair where you only have indigo and no turquoise it's easy... just do as you'd do for turquoise and results showing turquoise=indigo If your pair is turquoise X indigo then you want to use another mutation so you can distinguish between indigo & turquoise. Hence you usin...

Ring0Neck

gen calc you tick off turq (parblue), blue, and a sf dark factor. Leave out the Dark Factor, not need unless your bird is Cobalt Indigoblue or you can install Madas's own gen calc it has Indigo added.

Ring0Neck

I agree with MissK, As for a breeder of mutations is much easier to keep the flame burning. One could easily make a 5 to 10 year plan for breeding certain combinations and the longer it takes the more joy at the end of it all (Some never end or new ones come about to take their place). There's alwa...

Ring0Neck

Sarah,

You are spot on, breeders around Brisbane say the same.
We also think that a draught season is coming hence their abnormal breeding behaviour, more clear eggs
delayed breeding etc.

I have recently learnt that breeding season for ringnecks in Australia going back say 15-20 years ago only started in September ! there was no July, August.

So i am still with a cleartail dom. pied Combo. How old is the bird? Male or female? madas I think it's 2012. don't remember the sex. Yes, limited pics available of the DF pied we have seen showed darker feet/nails. I assumed Df pied by looking at breeder's website, http://www.parraweenaaviaries.co...

Ring0Neck

Willy, I guess INO does, (although we call it masking it is still an action to cancel other mutation's work). In saying that, i tend to agree that it is likely the white bird is not a CT pied, but a df pied. how? found a minor pie gene in the CT parent somewhere, which leads to the obvious Q: Ct is...

Ring0Neck

Well, It should be a simple changeover at about 8 months old.
Males will change from black to bright red
hen's beak remains black

Ring0Neck

Danny,

If you are in Aus. or SA then it should not be too late in most regions, some pairs take their time especially this year.

Ring0Neck

Ellie, On the bright side, behind this rather uneasy experience, there's a great wealth of information which you will cultivate and share with the world; many bird lovers will benefit from your experience as they will be able to make informed decisions. Good work, appreciate for taking a "punc...

Ring0Neck

:shock: Thanks a lot Chriskoi ! It sure does. New questions will follow with these pics. Ex: is your turquoise bloodline making the saddleback effect? It seems to be since you have opaline & dilute with saddle. Would you have a picture of a plain turquoise from same bloodline? How old are the bi...

might act as a contraceptive?!?

for a while...
i doubt that will stop them... they'll go on the ground and do it as 1 of my pairs decided to proceed.

100% fertility from them

Ring0Neck

Sky,

Is it my screen or the bird has a lighter green overall color?
If so i'd be more inclined to say a diluting mutation, if a mutation is in play.
