Bullseye or a rainbow..... or all one color

Perhaps the chicks are in fact peach not cameo as they are only a few weeks old. This may go some way to proving that peach is cameo and purple. As if you are correct a peach father on to purple hen would produce peach hens and purple cocks. With the purple cocks phenotype been purple as they...

"Am I misunderstanding something? If both parents were split to cameo, the offspring may or may not be split to purple. If one of the parents is split to cameo and the other homozygous purple, then cameo would have to be dominant to purple to get a cameo chick." Both parents are homozygous for...

"I agree with your second paragraph but you lost me a little bit on the third paragraph. A hen cannot be split to a sex linked color. She could theoretically be both cameo and purple. Maybe I am misunderstanding what you are saying. We do know that purple and cameo do some weird things when...

Hi Kathy, In my experience there are a few diseases that are no-brainers so to speak, once you have had cocci, you know the signs. However with lots of the others unless the bird dies you can't be sure what was wrong with it. I've lost birds that I was sure I knew what was up with them and...

They were commission pieces off the artist, D.Waring www.davidjwaring.com,

and the monal

Just thought I would share some paintings I purchased, hope you appreciate them as I do ..... only way I thought I would get all five Tragopans species.

Last hopefully helpful comment.....always remember KISS (keep it simple, stupid) . Unless you have a history of a specific disease, you should not expect that disease. Most new diseases come in with new stock and even then expect the common diseases first~~for example Colibacillosis is one of...
