After almost 3yrs of phone calls about Pied Strawberries to a guy I finally got some last month but at the same time by luck or chance he offered me his Pied Tri Colour Hen (18months old ) so seen I am into Mutations I did not hesitate. Well I put her in the aviary the other week with a Normal Cock I got with her. Well he chased her straight away. Noticed last week she was bulgy underneath and thought no surely not, havent seen them build a nest.
Last night after tea went up to lock up and cock bird was missing so I waited 10mins to see where he would hop off. They seem to have gone in a abandoned Doublebar nest and are sitting. So will see how it goes hopefully some young in the future.
Hen has Pied feathers under her belly between the legs.

Thanks Craig, u know me by now. Yeah fair chance should be Splits if they fledge any.
No Photo Carlos, she is white between the legs.
Don't know if anyone has any Pied Tris active in Australia at the moment but I would like to know if anyone does.

Thanks finchbreeder, hope all continues to go well. Not knowing the Genetics for the Pied in Tri Colours I am guessing young will be Split Pied if they get to the perch.
