Good stuff Karen! My pair have their second clutch almost fledged right now, they are breeding machines when they want to be!

Sure are Matt! My other pair that fledged 4 are working on their 2nd clutch already. I think this mild Summer is making them breed like rabbits!
Bub is doing well and had a nice big full crop when I picked him up this afternoon - he was so warm to the touch too!
The other eggs are no good.
1 is clear, 1 was going black so I opened it and it contained a perfectly formed chick DIS. I am leaving the other 2 eggs for bub to lean on.
The breeding hen I have noticed has some flecks of red feathers in her face. I had forgotten about it until I was negotiating the return of my fingers and saw her face.
Could this mean she might be considered "visual" opaline or something? Or is it just a few random odd coloured feathers?
