Wahoo it works thanx for that steptoe.

I have put my name down for another one from the same breeder. He has a pair of pieds I haven't told him what they have produced he said they haven't produced yet. I really want to hand rear one to see what they are like as pets. Should be fun
I am going to put her with a cinnamon split to pied cock to see what we get duno

Yea right teptoe & what is that supposed to mean you & your big words.
By the way I loved your link on how to tame them.
We have only had them for nearly 12 months.
We got the Cock bird from a conman type who told us he had a split to pied cock for $50 She bought him & after his 1st moult he developed a yellow spot on top of his wing. I don't think this bloke really knew what he had coz he has been searching for a pied ever since happy bana
The hen is nearly 12 months old & she then moulted the this colour.
I am hoping the one I get to rear will be a hen to put with our original cock Pray

The cock bird I had in with the hen got sick about 2 weeks ago, so I bought him over to the house to get him better.
Checked the nest box today & she has laid 2 eggs. They weren't there late last week.
I am wondering how long after mating will the eggs still be fertile.
I have put him back in again but i don't know if they mated before he got sick.
I guess it will be wait & see now d'oh!

Hi thenan i was just looking at your hen. She is fine the only thing is she will probably be completely yellow in 12 months or so. She is a Mottled pied. With the hand raising they are quite easy and will stay freindly even when you put them back in to an aviary for breeding. Cheers Kevin
