All last years we're female.

This photo does'nt do him justice really.

Looks like he needs wraping up in cotton wool, they always seem so delicate :D

Looking forward to next year when i can breed from him :)

Hi Paul, It is the bird on top of nest box, its the only photo I have of him at the moment.

It is not very good, but I'm so chuffed just to have managed to breed one. :)

Clare,

I'm afraid i'll have to agree with Huub and Paul, it's a fawn pied, one reason is that i think i can see a tear mark.

On Penguin zeb's no tear mark,

Trevor :)

Heres some better pic's he does seem penguin like as no breast bar, there is pied in the penguins I have.

Oh Well if not keep trying, will get there eventually :)

Hi Pip Alan & Josh,

My Penguin is pied, unfortunatley my penguin line has pied in it :unsure:

Had a normal pied penguin but had faults, breast markings ect :wacko:

Still working on it as my first penguin was from a pet shop, I only bought him because I thought he was unusual, so still working on the blood line.

Have produced some nice penguin hens, but males are elusive for me, hence my post, but will get there :)

They are more mature now since I originallyu posted this will post some up to date pics for you :) Bear with big back catalalogue to look through :lol:

Hi Whity,

 

Thats great, wish I had that many.

Sadly the ones I bred last year I no longer have, and only have one fawn hen and grey pied cock left at the moment, and they are related.

So will be a while before I can breed any more full pengiuns.

Had a problem with rats end of last year.

Although the Hen is nesting at the moment so we shall see what happens ;)

 

Clare
