My long awaited 'whitey' bub has finally arrived! Wooooohoooooo!!!

These trio of chicks are from the same parents as the previous blue and grey chicks I have in the 'for sale' section.

aaah man so precious i am so so so jealous! Meant to have got my breeding pair for my bday but couldnt afford it, and they nest active albino and rainbow, would make beautiful bubs like yours!!! GRRRR so envious!

pinkdevil · Post by **pinkdevil** » Tue Nov 09, 2010 5:14 pm

Sorry you didn't get your birds. Maybe next time or they will still be available when you do have the money.

Hi pinkdevil

nice healthy looking babies there. So I guess it looks like 2 albino 1 ?? Do we get to play the guessing game on colours again this time?

Regards

Shane

Sorry pink I left work, Well........... im going to see them this evening, and things were looking good... till my bf said he doesnt want any more, which is okay, my mom says they can live by her! So all in all YAY i should be getting them as soon as the breeder and i have worked out a payment plan... I have even started thinking up names for them, maybe Ice for the girl coz she's white, and PIckle for the boy coz he's different... Any ideas for names? so sosososososos exxxxxxxxxxxcited!!!

When are you going to post some updated pics of your bubs? So keen to see how they are growing and looking~!

SCB -SA · Post by **SCB -SA** » Wed Nov 10, 2010 10:57 pm

Hi again pink, sorry so excited here, would you mind having a look at another one of my posts and telling me what colour you think my current bird is? it is in the thread green mutation? Normal? split? male/female? PLease!

pinkdevil · Post by **pinkdevil** » Fri Nov 12, 2010 4:18 am

haha.....naming is hard. I throw a few names around but mostly wait till the personality shows through.

I have been trying to get updated photos, but mumma is being very protective and goes in the nest box everytime I go near the aviary. Maybe she remembers me taking her first clutch away? But I still keep a look out and try to out smart her....so far not working.

I am not too good with mutations, still learning.

SCB -SA · Post by **SCB -SA** » Fri Nov 12, 2010 4:28 am

shame man, they must be getting so cute! i am still learning the mutations too, but no one seems to know what mine is, hence asking everyone to chuck in their opinion and maybe we'll figure it out!!!

pinkdevil · Post by **pinkdevil** » Fri Nov 12, 2010 5:15 am

Yeah, I took a look, quite different. Seems it has the experts a bit stumped as well.

pinkdevil · Post by **pinkdevil** » Sat Nov 13, 2010 1:37 am

Here the bubbies are at 1 week of age.
Checkout the chick at the top

...bit of a greedy one.

In fact, they are all being well fed. Plenty of fruit, veg, and soft food.

I took the pic on my phone as it is less intrusive than my camera and doesn't upset mumma as much, so excuse the poor quality.

SCB -SA · Post by **SCB -SA** » Sun Nov 14, 2010 10:40 pm

shoo, very well fed it seems! i am picking up my new pair this coming weekend, so things are looking good!

pinkdevil · Post by **pinkdevil** » Mon Nov 15, 2010 12:59 am

So the countdown is on until the weekend!

SCB -SA · Post by **SCB -SA** » Mon Nov 15, 2010 1:24 am

yeah i cant wait. im a bit annoyed thou, just found out my green male, is female, spoke to the owner of a sibling, and it is male, and completely fully rung since i saw it 5 months ago. which means they are older than the breeder said. but it does the male dance? i am confused!!!!

xx_sheena_xx · Post by **xx_sheena_xx** » Mon Nov 15, 2010 5:19 am

any chance of getting a lutino in that clutch instead of two albinos?

pinkdevil · Post by **pinkdevil** » Mon Nov 15, 2010 8:44 am

No, definitely albinos.

Pink - is there any chance of my pair producing an albino baby?

What colours are they again? White and green???

Here is an update photo of the 3 chickies.
They are aprox 12 days old today. Look at greedy guts crop!!

I think s/he was the last chick to hatch but is the biggest. Obviously enjoys his/her tucker!

The 2 Inos have just opened their eyes.

SCB -SA · Post by **SCB -SA** » Wed Nov 17, 2010 2:03 am

ag man, so precious, what colour are their parents so we can start guessing the colour of little porky there!

My pair is a rainbow male with a albino female, apparently their last clutch was 5 chicks, three blue rainbow and 2 normal rainbow but was wondering if i could get an albino at all?

What age do the chicks start getting pin feathers?

pinkdevil · Post by **pinkdevil** » Wed Nov 17, 2010 2:35 am

@ Porky! I picked them up for the first time today and they are all well fed, just seems 'Porky' likes more than his fair share.....or is the fav child.

I am not sure what to punch in the gen cal for a rainbow bird.....sorry

The parents to these are grey/ino dad and Blue cinnamon mum. Only 2 colours it could be, blue or grey.

Pins start around 3 weeks of age, aprox.

SCB -SA · Post by **SCB -SA** » Wed Nov 17, 2010 2:56 am

apparently rainbow is like tur pallid or something like that!

aaah shame so your bubs still have a while of being naked!!!

I think lil Porky there is gonna be a grey bub!
So thats my guess!

PythonzEve · Post by **PythonzEve** » Sun Nov 21, 2010 8:23 pm

Can't wait to see what they feather into! I so wanna breed, but I want companion birds too...

SCB -SA · Post by **SCB -SA** » Mon Nov 22, 2010 12:23 am

Python, - i have 3 indoor ringnecks - and over this weekend i went and got myself an outdoor breeding pair.

best of both worlds, and they are all too beautiful!!

PythonzEve · Post by **PythonzEve** » Mon Nov 22, 2010 2:48 pm

Yep, maybe in a few years though when the kids get older ;op Then I just have to convince hubby!

ahhhh......I find 'puppy dog' eyes works well.....and a fav meal!

The bubs are growing nice and fast with all the mummy goodness.
Here they are at aprox 16 & 17 days old. The coloured one has his/her pins....guessing game will be up soon when I take a better and closer shot of the feathery sprouts!

SCB -SA · Post by **SCB -SA** » Tue Nov 23, 2010 7:26 am

aah man they are so precious!! my pair must make me some bubs now!!!

mallee_1 · Post by **mallee_1** » Tue Nov 23, 2010 3:14 pm

Looks like you have 2 definate lutinos with the red eyes and they will be hens possibly masking grey and the other one is going to be either blue or grey.

mallee_1 · Post by **mallee_1** » Tue Nov 23, 2010 3:18 pm

Sorry messed up, that should be 2 hen albinos with the red eyes possibly masking grey.

pinkdevil · Post by **pinkdevil** » Tue Nov 23, 2010 6:26 pm

Yep mallee, finally got my lil white girl.

SCB -SA · Post by **SCB -SA** » Thu Nov 25, 2010 2:08 am

man they look funny when they start gettig their pin feathers, like little aliens, found a pick of my blue baby when he was 3 weeks old, with his head in my mouth, and this little porcupine body sticking out, who knows what he used to look for in their, food maybe?

bec · Post by **bec** » Thu Nov 25, 2010 7:18 pm

but i think its time for more pics pink!!!!!!
pwetty pwetty pwease!!!!!!!!!!

pinkdevil · Post by **pinkdevil** » Thu Nov 25, 2010 8:07 pm

SCB...maybe he wanted to be an 'oral hygiene-ist' when he grew up!

Okay, Bec, since you asked nicely....more piccies.

SCB -SA · Post by **SCB -SA** » Thu Nov 25, 2010 11:45 pm

aaaaaaaaaaaah maaaaaaaaaaaaan they so precious! look at those lil faces! so innocent.... for a while, then they turn to terrors!! your so luky pink! so envious.

waiting patiently too see if my pair are going to lay me some eggs

only had them a week so far.

I think we need updates pics twice a week pink! too gorgeous watching them get bigger n bigger!

pinkdevil · Post by **pinkdevil** » Fri Nov 26, 2010 1:17 am

Well now I have them inside, makes photo taking a lot easier.

SCB -SA · Post by **SCB -SA** » Fri Nov 26, 2010 4:44 am

I noticed that, looks old Porky has either some porridge or poop on its lil wing there... guessing poop thou, otherwise im gonna start wondering how the heck porridge got there, although they do do some strange things while you try feed them....

What colour do you think lil Porkers is gonna be, Pink?

Melika · Post by **Melika** » Sat Nov 27, 2010 2:49 pm

Awesome pictures! They're so cute. Almost makes me want to set up a breeding pair... or more of my own.

pinkdevil · Post by **pinkdevil** » Sun Nov 28, 2010 5:50 pm

I think that is food on 'Porky'. I didn't give a final cleanup before I took the photo.

I am going to have a guess with grey. Kinda looks similar to the other grey.

Thanks Melika....almost??????

May have to entice you with more pics.

Lilly · Post by **Lilly** » Mon Nov 29, 2010 5:18 am

It does look grey here but more blue in the other thread!

Well I do find myself now trying to figure out how many aviaries I can put in the upper part of my planned chicken run.

But I think to keep the neighbors happy, I would have to go with a quieter breed. Hane is quiet, but his parents aren't! So maybe pionus, poicephalus, or rock pebblers. I just miss raising little ones.

*cough* although I do know if I had IRN pairs I would want ones where the females definitely have a mutation, makes sure they get a good home.

Hey Pinkdevil, congratulations, you finally got your Albino's, I know how long you have wanted one!

SCB -SA · Post by **SCB -SA** » Tue Dec 07, 2010 3:53 am

Pinkdevil!! You are slacking its shocking! Where are the updates? We want to see!!
Want to post pics of my new bubby but cant get a nice one, poor baby has a splayed leg!
He is only 3 weeks old, so need to guess his colour too, his mum is a lovely pale blue/white and dad is blue.

pinkdevil · Post by **pinkdevil** » Tue Dec 07, 2010 4:14 pm

Thanks TD, and yes, I sure have been waiting awhile for my 'whitey' lol

Sorry SCB

.....will get onto it.
Been busy with doing 'after the rain' jobs. Cleaning aviary feeders from all the wet seed etc, plus trying to keep ontop of all the other chores. A womans work is never done.

SCB -SA · Post by **SCB -SA** » Thu Dec 09, 2010 4:04 am

i know the feeling Pink!
My pair are at my mums place and they are building on to their house and i have never know such inconsiderate people!
we told thm about the birds and asked that they take special care around the cage, so one morning whilst on the roof after rainthey tipped up the tarpaulin and emptied a nights worth of rain over my poor birds!

then the plumber tried to kill my mums quails by spraying them with water from the geyser!

i got so cross

pinkdevil · Post by **pinkdevil** » Thu Dec 09, 2010 5:16 am

If anyone had of done that to my animals, they would be licking their wounds and running for the hills!!!

unfortunately i dont stay at my mum, but i did give them a piece of my mind when i went to visit!!!
