Natamambo, I don't think it's possible that your bird pictured is both aus and euro yellow. I am yet to see an australian yellow with a complete purple breast. I think it is more likely to be a good clear euro yellow.

What I'd figured and he's a keeper if he breeds well, I'll probably put him with 2 hens this year one YB and one normal to increase the potential blood lines from him.

Hi Misso
Nothing . Last year his normal hen hatched two clutches but raised neither. This year he didn't breed at all - unless he is the father of the young with a BHWBYB hen who has just gone down in the last few days - in a cane tunnel nest left in the flight for the redbrows after all the boxes were removed at the end of June .
However, I know a whole lot more than I did when I bought him. He's a LBYB, hence the very clear back and white neckband. This year I bought him from GaryH the hen which has just gone down but they ignored each other in the breeding cage for 3 months until I gave up and put him in the mixed flight with one other pair that did nothing while in cages. I suspect she's paired with the other cockbird, which means 2 seasons later I still have no young from him.
