Big Momma

Post by Madcat » Wed Sep 28, 2016 1:40 pm

She's a strong lady! Last season she was VERY busy and cared for chicks that weren't her own hence the name BIG MOMMA! These are a few days old. Yaaaay!! Babs, love the feeling don't ya?!?!?

Oh that's pucka mate, congrats to you =D>

I'm Sure Debbie will know what colours they are as I only tend to concentrate on the normal colours whenever I've had or got any Gouldians :mrgreen:

I assume both parents are PB?

Your males can:
SF Pastel Blue (visually blue)
SF Pastel/Blue (visually lighter green)

Your hens can be:
Pastel Blue (visually white)
Pastel/Blue (visually yellow)

Beautiful chicks!!
best of luck
