Congrats on your eggs. I had my first clutch this year it is very exciting. I ended up with 1 grey baby and 2 blues. The parent are grey and silver. Keep us updated on their progress
Hey Deb, I will be selling them I have already sold 2 to friends of mine. Just gave them another feed and my kids had cuddles with them. They don't like that to much yet. Yeah I would be interested to fine out how they got the blue in them. I was so happy to have blue. Obviously one of the parents m...
Hi Deb Babies are doing great. Pulled them out for hand rearing yesterday. We ended up with 2 blues and 1 grey. Feeding is going ok. They are obviously still quite frightened. They are now 3 1/2 weeks old. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-_xYnrTxMSgs/UG9m3uzqgiI/AAAAAAAAAB0/fBFaYxEp484/s144/image....
Thank you for your reply.
I do believe she is a silver hen. I did some web searching but just wanted some confirmation from you experts. So thanks again
Hi Deb, Babies are doing very well. I checked out the pics of "Luna". Funny that my girl is named Luna. But she is not a normal grey like my male is. She is very light in colour. Almost white but with darker wings. I'll have to get a better photo of her when she is out in the sun. She is v...
Hi Deb My IRN's are outside in an aviary under my patio. I think it's about 3m long and about 1m wide. I also have a hand reared IRN inside. He is my baby. Babies are doing really well. Hoping to be able to post a picture up soon of mum and dad. I'm not sure what colour she is. She is kind of silver...
That sounds great Eshana. You sound like you really know what you are doing. :D I wish you all the best with your little babies. Mine are now just under 2 weeks old. It still gets quite cold here in Perth Australia at the moment through the night. There are some great people on here with fantastic a...
Hi Not sure on the hand rearing at this stage. I haven't had the experience. Although my father in law has and is willing to teach me. Also I work through the day so that makes it a bit harder. Mum and dad are doing such a good job with them anyway. I did buy some hand rearing formula in case they w...

Babies are doing great. They are getting really big now. The oldest one has now opened his/hers eyes.
Mum and dad are still doing a great job. I can hear them in their nesting box being fed.
Hi all, Just wanted to share my wonderful news with you all. I have 3 baby IRN in the nest box at the moment.they seem to be doing well. Mum and dad are taking great care with them. This is my first time with breeding birds so as you can tell I'm very excited. I had a lot of guidance from my father ...
I too live in western Australia and I'm just starting out with breeding IRN's. I am hoping to breed them this year. I also have a green hand reared IRN BJ. He is my baby. Hope all goes well for you this breeding season
Hi and welcome to the forum. Unfortunately you won't be able to post pictures or links until you've posted a certain number of posts (I think it's 15?). The owner of the forum implemented this when we were getting some pornographic spam on this board. Ellie. Cheers for that Ellie I did read that bu...
Hi all, I am new to this forum but in saying that I have been looking through here before I got my IRN. I have found this site to be a wealth of information. Well done everyone for all the great info. I currently have a green IRN named BJ. He's a lovely boy apart from the biting. He's about 18 month...
