    hi neil and emmy

    neil the chick is a blackcheek lightback and emmy I wasn't trying for that colour chick I was trying for either greycheeked or fawn cheeked and to be truthful that's my only black cheek in my stud so it looks like I will have to start keeping that mutation again  :)   :good: .thanks for the comments

    hi emmy

    nice chicks there. you have plenty of choices of colour to breed of them when there old enough. you might get a nice pied obbb now that would be interesting to see .well done and good luck with them

    hi sparky

    its best to pair your pheos to fawn hen this way you will have split Isabel and blackbreasted fawn males and females which you could pair together or back to some of your pheo males. if by chance you have any bb fawn hens or isabels these would be even better pairings for your pheos

    hi emmy

    yes you can have a couple of days space before eggs hatch but as there are eggs from another nest they could be either infront or behind with incubation of the eggs you put them with .i hope your chicks will be ok this time fingers cross for you.do you no if any of the chicks are from the fawn pair :good:

    hi basitali

    thanks for the comment .your ds male can be paired with a normal grey female which will produce 50% normal male/female and 50% ds male/females .you can piar your bird to either a fawn or lightback hen which will give you the same as before but

    all the males will be split for what ever colour the hen is ie fawn or light back then if you pair lets say a silver split fawn male to a fawn hen then you will have a 25% chance of getting cream males and females or if silver/lightback x

    lightback you should get 25% silverlightback males and female.im sure some one will put correct me if this is wrong but I

    hope this helps you with your male ds

    hi emmy

    the hen looks to me as a bb split ob as I cant see any orange on her cheeks or flanks.if you look on my gallery you will see one of my obbbs hen which will give you a better idea on what to look for in a obbb hen if it will help you .hope it will must must say its a very nice hen indeed you have there.

    this is a picture of the male paired to my cream hen.hes a bit tatty as it was of him going thro the moult and is a old picture from last year and cant find a recent one of him or one of him after the moult. hes slightly smaller than the hen but no he produces not bad side chicks as I saw some of them from who I got him of.

    hi pete

    no don't think so as I put them in separate cages and only put the hen with the fawn in late November.going to put a pic of the male up I found a old pic of him last year not in best of condition as was going thro moult. was going to put a new pic on but decided against messing about with them again as don't want to stress them any more and ruin breeding of them ok

    ive looked at my post and so what I did wrong and put it right now the hen as deffo got three chicks 1 like dad and 2 light in colour and because I have never bred or owned creams before did not no what there chicks look like but I now believe that that is how the look like and young creams have a light

    beak as well like the ones I have.next time I reply I will make sure im not planning my pairings at the same time then I wont cause any misunderstanding allen (sorry about that)

    no it me im put it wrong didn't realise I did that but that will be my pairing in February I have got that many pairings going on in my head and on paper I put it down wrong on that post. but the creams I got from pete were on a bigstand near the zfs stand and pete sold them to me and it said pair of creams on them there were 2 pairs for sale theother were more dearer as the male was a bit bigger. and the hen as not been with any other male

    hi ade

    explain the cream chicks then .peter cannan sold me her as a cream and she as produced creams thus making her a cream theres no other way possible that she cant be as a fawn cannot produce cream chicks unless recessive but as far as I no there arn't  any any more
