gnipper 6,426 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I've got some rollers and a few pouters to keep me out of mischief for the summer and bringing my pup on too so I'm probably best off without little birds too this season. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,426 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I've borrowed a cock canary off my neighbour and paired it to the dark mongrel hen and they have produced a red eyed chick? The hen is bred off variegated mongrels too so it must be the cock who's produced it so any ideas what colour he is? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TUFFTY 1,476 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Red eyes! Isnt that called an Ino ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,426 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) It's looking like the cock is a satinette carrier and the chick should be a satinette hen. Edited May 17, 2014 by gnipper 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
