Isa, I have two things to say:

1. All of them are gorgeous
2. You have some crazy genetics going around!

Hi!
Some new picture of my favorite hen, VDM3b who is the daughter of my past away VDM1a...

: Seagreen or "Opaline" back hen, VDM3b...

: A bluish hen like was her mother...and she kept her color even after second molt...

Her molt is almost done and I have to choose a partner for her...maybe my "Violet pastel one"??? (cf Topics "Blue-violet pastel gouldian"...?)... or maybe her son with the Red head Lilac Breast Seagreen back... she like's him +++...!

: VDM3b's son, a gorgeous lilac breast...

Ok, bad and good news... The bad new: The second daughter of Opaline will probably die soon...She's week and look like if she's doing anemia and took every "cold" that went on...Her immune system is probably too weak due to consanguine genes...

Good news:

VDM3b, the mother of this hen had two new young since yesterday... She choose her son, the gorgeous red head lilac breast sea green back...(My pastel "violet-blue back" seems to be too young for the moment...not flirting or courting...

: Day 1...

Again, those chicks seems to have paler yellow nodules and really pinkish skin...New sea green or Opaline's one???

An other good new:

Opaline Cock is father too...He seduced a dark unrelated red head purple breast green back and had these three new babies five days ago... They are dark and pinkish too...with paler yellow nodules...

: The "Opaline's Lady", (Darket!) with her first young...

: Opaline's new young

oh my.. congratulations on the chicks and of course I will be watching the kaleidoscope of colors unfold

My RH seagreen hen went down and looked awful. she had 2 clutches of 2 chicks each... I removed her and gave heat, calcium...sunshine and she looks great now. I do think the new mutations are weaker in general. My BH seagreen hen is healthy but never interested in breeding...

An update...

Opaline's young...

: The Opaline and "Darket"'s young...

VDM3b's young...

: The VDM3b and lilac sea green cock's young...

and soon, young's of the father of Opaline, the "one leg" one with a black head white breast green back who is one of the descendant of VDM1a...

Now, the pictures of the young's of the father of Opaline, the "one leg" one with a black head white breast green back who is one of the descendant of VDM1a..

: VDM2b (gorgous, isn't he?) with new young...

Sorrily, my hen lay eggs in two time, four at first then three other ones after 3-4 days.... so one of the first clutch didn't make it and the three last didn't make it because the parents didn't feed them (one was a blue back one

)

: VDM2b (who is the father of Opaline) with his young's at day 3 with the black head Lady

Now the three young who do well...

: His young day 9

Pictures update of "Opaline's line"...

First, Opaline's family...

: Opaline and his three health young...( 22-06-2012)

Second, VDM3b's family...

We can see nice mixed green and blue on back of young...and on the upper tail...!

All beautiful chicks..I am sure that they will develope some dazzling colors soon

Vertdemer · Post by **Vertdemer** » Sat Jun 30, 2012 7:35 pm

and third, the grandfather family (VDM2b, who is the father of Opaline and the brother of VDM3b hen)...

One of their young have a clear spot in his beak...Is it just an error or can it be the result of the mist between their parents who have some clear feathers?!?

Ho! Thanks Candace!!!

Wow that gap mouth shot is very interesting. Wonder why it is clear...
Maybe Tiffany can shed some light on this as she has looked at a lot of gouldian's mouth markings.
