Andyn 534 Report post Posted August 6, 2013 Dale, Did you know that your photo is linked to lots of other ones that aren't bird related. Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ozzy747 25 Report post Posted August 6, 2013 I would agree with Paul. Closer picture would be better but it does not look like a cfw from this view.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reary 3 Report post Posted August 7, 2013 Hi and thanks for the replies. I will get some better pictures later and post them up. Quite a nice suprise as I dont have any black breasts in my aviary. In fact bar my penguins all of my Zebs were given to me by my brother, Colly on here. Andy yes I know the picture links to my photobucket account, I use it for various types of forums. Theres all sorts of stuff in there cars, bikes that I own or have owned Just out of interest what colour hen would it be best to pair this BB with? I am completely baffled by genes etc and normally just let my birds choose their mate. Thanks in advance Dale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

casamber 60 Report post Posted August 8, 2013 It's beautiful! I have never seen a BB lightback before Kerry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reary 3 Report post Posted August 8, 2013 So it is a lightback BB, great I have never seen one before and was amazed when it appeared in my aviary that is full of everything but BB's. A welcome bird to my collection though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolk flyer 208 Report post Posted August 8, 2013 Hi, Great male BBLB there, I like a lot. I've just bred my first one as well, had 5 BBLB's out of the cage and now they're in the aviary colouring up and one I noticed yesterday is going to be a male. If you paired him with a BB normal = 50% LB split BB males and 50% BBLB hens. or Pair him with a LB = 50% LB split BB males and 50% LB split BB hens. Hope this helps, Trevor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reary 3 Report post Posted August 10, 2013 Thats very helpful info Trevor I think I will keep an eye out for a LB hen to pair him with Thanks Dale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
