tremuth 14 Report post Posted November 23, 2011 Hi Paul,when i look at the video in full screen mode, I can see much more white colour in the tail stripes as black one.Could he be split for blackbreast ?..........did some of his youngsters have the same tail colour ? Did you never paired him to one of his daughters ?Michael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulm 119 Report post Posted November 23, 2011 Hi MichaelTo the best of my knowledge i haven't bred black breast into this line of fawns unless it is there from the original birds,i try to keep a tight lid on the recessive mutations in my stud.I dont inbreed my birds i just feel its not worth it and im not a colour breeder just a type man so theres not really a need to i dont feel.Cheers Paul.

paulm 119 Report post Posted December 12, 2011 I was in the shed today and noticed the cock going for the chick as he's keen to go back down,so i have now split him from the chick and hen,the hen should feed the chick no problem and i can repair them when she is rested or pair him to another hen.Here a clip of him sorry about the back ground music.

dave huntington 94 Report post Posted December 12, 2011 if hes fit and ready to go i would pair him up to another hen,fosster the eggs out and then re pair him in a couple of weeks to the original hen after she has weaned the young one matedave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
