All the best pal,hope you had a good one. Scott

Hi Jon, Having looked at your photos,pic 1+2 look like Cream Lightback Hens going by there underside which is White. Pic 4 to me looks like a Fawn Hen. Could be the photos or am i Wrong in my assumption. Scott

Looks like a Blackfaced Greycheeked Pied Cock and a Blackfaced Normal Hen to me. Regards Scott

Happy Birthday Ricky. All the best,hope you have a good day. Scott

Many happy returns Peter. All the Best. Scott

Going on the lack of Zebra throat markings,i would say it was a Timor. Regards Scott

The plot thickens. It does look like 2 Cream Chicks and to me the Fawn Chick looks more like a Fawnlightback, going on the photo the Fawn seems to have a white underside which suggests Fawnlightback. Would be good to see a pic of the Dad and will comment further when i`ve seen a pic of him. Cheers Scott

Happy Birthday Dave. All the Best. Scott

Looks more like a Fawn Pied Hen,not a Cream. Regards Scott

No probs Chris. Used to breed Blackcheeked Normals in the 90`s. Would like to keep them again sometime in the near future,but even the small petshop types seem hard to source these days. All the best with your breeding. Cheers Scott

Hi Chris, I`m afraid not,you`ll just have to pair them up and see what they throw out. You`ll still breed breed Blackcheeks but depends again on if the Cock birds are split for Cfw. Is it Blackcheek Cfws you want to breed? Scott

Depends on whether the Cocks are split for Cfw? If they are you should get 50% of each colour and if the Cocks are just Blackcheeked Lightbacks,you`ll get 100% Blackcheeked Lightbacks,with the cocks being split Cfw as well. Scott

Nice one Jon, I`m pretty much breeding the same colours as yourself,only at the moment i`m breeding Grey,rather than the Fawncheeked mutation,simply because i don`t really have any Fawns in my shed. Hoping to try and bring in some Fawns later on,when the shows start up. Scott

Looks a nice chick Jon. Another mutation i really like apart from Dilutes is Fawncheek and Greycheeked. Well done on a least starting to get some chicks,i`m still struggling away,having only bred 13 so far this season. How many are you up to now? Scott

I`ll send a cheque off 1st thing Monday You no the saying Nick God loves a tryer. Scott

Send them my way Nick,i`m looking at restocking this year,as i have next too nothing in my shed. Regards Scott

Hello Nick, The one on the left is what your looking for in regard to colour,having bred this mutation myself. The one on the right has too much colour but seems to have better head features,the one on the left has his eyes closed,so could equally have good head features. Nonetheless nice looking birds. Scott

Like the look of the last one Nick,will give you £10.00 for her Scott

Hi Barry, Not that good so far,have 2 chicks on the sticks away from parents and a nest of 5 due to fledge in the next couple of days. Hoping to do at least 2 shows this year,if everything goes well,but will only be showing Adults. Cheers Scott

Nice to see a fellow Champion Exhibtor on here. How`s your breeding going this year Barry? Scott

Many happy returns Ricky mate. Hope you had a good one All the best Scott

Nice one Mark,really pleased she`s doing the business for you. I must be getting rid of all the good birds,in regard to breeding that is,as the ones i`ve kept have done nothing this year Anyway there`s always next year to try and get some yougsters. Scott

Hi Mark, Is that not the Yellow Beak Fawnlightback Hen you got off me last year ;) Scott

Thanks Dave,Those 5 is all i managed bringing me up to 20 for 2011 season.Haven`t got anything paired up as yet as the birds are moulting slightly at the moment,hopefully make some sort of start in March,all things going well.Have you made a start yet?Scott

Yes mark you could have Either sex in the Normal and also the 2 Fawns but only Hens i`m afraid in the Fawnlightback Have you managed to breed anything from the other birds you got off me?I`ve Bred a nest of 5 in December from a Fawn/Lightback Cock to a Fawnlightback Hen And have produced my 1st ever Fawnlightback Cock,just a pitty he`s not bigger but has good head features and type and may improve over the next 6 months or so.Also had 3 Fawnlightback Hens and for me the pick of the bunch a really cracking Fawn Hen,the best Fawn i`ve bred in the last 5 years or so Scott
