Re: 2013 Gouldian breeding season
Posted: 05 Sep 2013, 20:40
One of my pairs has produced 22 young this breeding season, 5 more out today WB RH cock over WB RH hen, currently i only keep Australian yellow backs, white breasted normals and SF-DF yellow backs only got the yellow backs a month or so ago, so hopefully next year they will start producing now the breeding season has come to an end.
SF and DF gouldians have produced 43 young thats from 2 pair SF and 2 pair DF yellowbacks
The other pair of WB gouldians have produced 19 young this season YH cock over RH hen, they also produced my first BH WB gouldian, so overall i'm pretty happy with this seasons breeding results and although the optimum of the season has ended, a few pairs are still on eggs.
Hopefully i will be lucky enough to fledge a few more BH WB's
A couple of the fledgelings are showing strong blue coloration on the white breast, not sure if they will moult this out or if they are actually carrying blue genes.
