Welcome back to the channel everyone, I was actually planning on
starting this video by telling you about how i don't have any eggs
from this pair yet, but have a look at this!
Our hen who always takes forever to settle down and lay has laid an egg!
So if we're lucky, she should lay another egg in another day or two
and a few days after that we'll be able to see if they're fertile.
I've also been getting a lot of views from people who aren't subscribed to the
channel recently. So if you're not subscribed hit that
subscribe button now. Let's see if we can get to...
Let's see if we can get to 10,000 subscribers before the end of next month.
These little guys are growing up very quickly.
Let's take a look at them.
This is the bigger one - oh his eyes are open!
This is the bigger one, and we can see that he's definitely black. He's got some
black pin feathers coming through.
I'll have to wait and see if he turns out to be a tiger grizzle
or just a standard spread black.
But right now they're growing up quite nicely. Let's have a look at the other one.
This is the smaller one, they're both still too small for
rings, but again you can see the black feathers coming through.
This one actually has some white flights, or some white feathers on the wing
you can see it more clearly over here, there's only quite a few white feathers
again it's still too early to tell if this one's a little tiger grizzle
or a black pied. Another week or so we should be able to see though.
Let's put them back so they can have some food. It's a little bit of a mess in
here but let's pull our little barless split baby out and
have a look. It's only been three days I think since you last saw
this guy, but look how much he's grown!
He is definitely a blue checker.
It's a little bit strange for me to see a blue checker in the nest, I actually
don't have very many blue checkers at all so
this will be one of the few that we have, and i'm not used to seeing them grow up
like this. One nice thing is he has no
white or pied in him,
which is good because I'm trying to avoid pied in the
barless project. He is growing up to be a nice little pigeon though.
I'm not sure if Kurt has said anything on his channel yet but in a few weeks
we're actually going to send some pigeons over to him
that he can breed from the race next year and one of them is
actually the grandchild of this red cock, which means it's related to my little
barless split baby here. Of course the pigeon i'm sending over
won't be a barless split, it's a dark checker I think, but it is a
very good racing bloodline, so you can see I really am putting the
best quality genetics i can get my hands on into this
barless project. Hopefully it's not too long until
we have some nice pretty ones like this winning races. Speaking of winning races
I'm not sure if I'll be able to race myself next year but I have been
thinking about putting some birds into a one loft race
up in Queensland. I've been thinking about which birds we can put together
and if we can send any coloured birds up. I think we might try and maybe put a
tiger grizzle to the race. But I'll give you guys some more details
about that you know when it gets closer to the date,
but it would be nice to let the birds prove themselves.
And maybe pick up a prize as well!
Anyway guys, I hope you've enjoyed - make sure you're subscribed
and i'll catch you guys next time.
