Morning all,

Just got back from derby picked up these 4. Two black cheek males and two blackface female.

I would say that the males are split for bb to as I seen the father. The one female have put the extra pictures up came from a tripple black male or eumo. Well thats what he looked like.

Your thoughts of these, not sure on the female.

Thanks all,

Chris

Chris,

          Not again, you're like magician, do you keep pulling these out of a hat ?

 

Anyway the BC nearest the camera is deffo split for BB, the other male can't see the tail,

 

Yes the hens do look like BF so did you see the mum she must have been BF,

 

The hen on it's own at a guess I would say she is split BC and poss BB,

 

The BC i'm more certain,

 

Good birds though,

 

Well done,

 

Trevor

Hi trevor,

I wish I did have a magic hat, I try a few winning lotto tickets :-D

There from 2 different nests mate the two black cheeks are from one and the two females are from another.

I didn't get chance to see the females mate, but what I did see was a tripple black male with a bf bb female, I did ask the about this as it been a dominant gene and she said they have bred 6 healthy chicks which confused me as I thought the bf x bf was a big no.

Other than that im very happy with the birds always worth the ride out. Im looking forward to see what the females chuck out I may pair the males up to the females if they are all split for bc and bb with the females been bf show have some nice colours out.

What would be the out come of this be;

Bc split bb male x bf split bc bb female?

Yes if it's Hilary from Melbourne yes I have had some birds from here before. She always keeps them in tip top condition

Hi all,

Thank you for your comments. Colly its got to be the lady, her flight and set up is real nice.

I have done the research on the birds, the two black cheek;

Parents:

Bc female x bb male = 2x bc split bb males. This is the easy one.

The two bf females:

Grandparents,

Tripple black male x ???? Unsure on this.

Which they produce a bb split bc male.

So, bb split bc male x bf female= 2 bf split bb bc females

Hope you can make sense of this it took some working out for me.

Now ill pair when old enough;

Bc, split bb male x bf split, bb, bc female.

What will the out come of this be?

Cheers all.
