First Chick And Its A Black Cheek :)

Recommended Posts

Thought I would share some pics of my first chick, I wasn't expecting a bc so I'm guessing the parents must be split? He/she is lovely and quite tame, loves head rubs and happy to be handled :)Thought I was going to lose him at 1 1/2 weeks old as the parents stopped feeding so I hand fed but after 2 days they started feeding again and chick is now fledged and almost 4 weeks old post-3841-0-42111700-1431637757_thumb.jppost-3841-0-54917500-1431637805_thumb.jppost-3841-0-07262800-1431637879_thumb.jppost-3841-0-77837000-1431637948_thumb.jppost-3841-0-79513900-1431638218_thumb.jppost-3841-0-34550000-1431638260_thumb.jp

That is one very lucky gorgeous chick.

 

Mum looks to be a BC. Isn't it great when at one point you think you're going to lose the chick then with a little intervention everything works out.

 

My first BC chick came from a pair of normals I had bred ( I'd  never ever had any BC in my aviary) - so those normals both must have been split for BC.

I bought some BC at Stafford and they have just hatched out chicks 4of the chicks are BC the 5th one a surprise not BC and almost cream in colour :D
