happy birthday dave richard

nice bccfw you got there trevor I really liked them when I used to breed them they were my favourites out of the bc mutations just wait till he colour up and you see all the bc mutation at its best very nice to see even tho I haven't gone for that mutation this time round if went back to bc mutation think it would be that mutation out of all bc mutation I would have richard

hello and welcome to the forum richard

welcome to the forum hope you enjoy what you read on here richard

thanks josh Emmy and Gary for the comments and ive separated the other chick from them now just in case she interfered with them when they fledged but they were all going in the nest box before I removed her . I like this mutation aswell hopefully I will have one last round from them but its strnge that ive got so many fawns from them as I wasn't expecting that colour just all normal goes to show what hidden colour some birds carry. and all the best to you all for a good breeding season Richard

nice chicks you got there Gary and fingers cross for hens for you richard

sorry its late happy birthday jon and all the best richard

hi Kerry like the Isabel chick its a beauty and yes you are right in thinking that a pheo is a combination of bb and Isabel if you add ob then its known as a ob pheo hope this helps Richard

heres an update on the 4 obbb chicks I found in the nest while the parents were feeding an older chick hope you like them possible male obbb female fawn obbb male obbb another fawn obbb as you can see they are all doing fine thanks for looking and please leave a comment richard

hi emmy sorry to say this but trevor got it wrong they might not all be bb because your male is a split so you cannot produce 100% bbs all of the time but don't forget its only a matter of rules it dosnt always work out that way all of the time from your pairing on saying ob/bb/fawn male to a bb female you will get 12.5%bb split ob fawn males 12.5%bb split ob female 12.5 normal split ob bb fawn males 12.5%fawn split ob bb females 12.5% bb split ob males 12.5% bb split ob females 12.5 % normal split ob bb males 12.5% normal split ob bb females but don't forget not everything can go to rule and in one nest you could get all bbs and then in another you could get more normal nothing ever goes to rule all of the time but don't forget if your hen is split for ob then it all changes yet again and it can go on on on lol sorry if im treading on anyones toes and hope this helps richard
