My pair have finally had their first successful family!
2 chicks, maybe 3, hatched around Thursday or Friday.
Will know for sure how many soon, just want to give mum some space as it's her first successful breed, and she's a nervous mum.
Expecting visual blue & albino babies.
Happy days!

Woo grats mate

Hope all goes well with the new mum and bubs.

Congrats TD hope you have healthy happy nudie chicks

Maybe that is the males version of "congrats hun, we did a good job huh? Here is a posy of broccoli for all your hard effort!

Love those pics Bec!
Maybe it's a Ringneck thing?? Where the males do what they can to make mum comfortable?
Checked the bubs again today and mum had eaten all of the broccoli. I checked because I didn't want any rotting food in there, turns out i didn't have to worry!

well its just not like an irn to let a good piece of brocoli go to waste

too true pinkdevil too true!!!!

Is it normal for an albino hen to have blue through the tail like the hen has? or is she not albino?

Hi Julie,

She's definitely an Albino.

Not sure if it's normal for them to have some blue through the tail, although I might have to have a closer look at her in case the light / camera flash is causing it to look like there's blue. I hadn't noticed it until you asked!!

iT LOOKS LIKE THE CAMERA HAS REFLECTED SOME GREEN OFF THE BROCOLI

All albino's have a sheen, infact all birds in general have a sheen of colour. This is actually the natural oils etc the bird uses for preening.

Hence why lutino's can sometimes have a green sheen, and albino's a blueish one... its just the oils reflecting colour through the feathers.
