Re: Cordon Blues

[stephstar]

So we will have two pairs of CORDONs, a pied and a normal to each pair to make the most of their genetics ...

[finchbreeder]

So are you putting them in the same avairy or different avairys? And if the same I persume the boys are pied and the girls normal? Saw that avairy on Gumtree too.

One pied male to normal hen, 1 normal male to pied hen. I have one pair already bonded.Pied male to normal hen...
They will go on the veranda aviary 6x3x2m until.we build aviary similar to the pic. We going to have a flat roof though so we don't need council planning permission . Making use of empty back shed taking off one side and opening it to be nesting space for enclosure..

[Pete Sara]

any thing over 3 m x 3m will need council permision no matter if it has a flat roof or not, 6x3 is definatly needing council approval. best be nice to your neighbours I say.... pete

Hmm.. I was sure i had it right... Will look into it

lutino cordon has a yellow cheek patch instead of red. I have seen one in Qld several years ago

[Tiaris]

That's not a lutino, its what some call a yellow. A lutino would still have red cheeks & the normal blue areas would be white.

So it would look a lot like a pied then?

[finchbreeder]

Latin = Albino is white, Lutino is yellow, Rubino is red. Sorry but the language is as old as the naming of birds etc. if not older.

I thought a lutino would be yellow cheek patches with pied body with red eyes
