Pictures of the babies

They all have their eyes open now.  You really have to look for them in the nest box.  Some hide better than others.

Although this one has escaped a couple of days in a row.  My sister says we should name it Houdini.

Inky checked him over after I took pictures.  She didn't like the picture taking.  She kept trying to grab the phone and move it everytime I took a picture.

Babies in the Nest box

We had babies born on 4/8/2011.  I am studying the genetic makeup to make the blue as dark as possible.  It can make your head spin.  But I was lucky enough to get 9 babies.  4 black and 5 blue.

These babies are 6 days old.

Black are the result of a cross between a white and a blue.  They are not showable, but if they have good bodylines then they can be used in the breeding program.  They would be able to throw blue, white or black babies.
