5 little precious from Darfie and Timid

After 4 failed clutches finally a positive result!

All kind of weird problem i face with the 1st few clutch. As i have mention before in my blog, timid seems pretty weak ... she suffered twice calcium deficiency and also her eggs is pretty thin shell compared to the rest of my breeding female.

Tried calcium suppplement with D3 , increase frequency of multi Vitamins , egg yolk, cuttle fish bone, cod liver oil etc... at the end of the day i only get result after i shift the couple to another area with morning sun light!

Well, i guess nature works best ! And please don't ask me why sunlight as i won't be able to explain in any form of "chim" logic :p I only know that sunlight is really good for many living things, they just need it .. haha!

Now, as for the chicks i have 5 out of 5 hatch! Its something i wouldn't expect from her ! well, thanks to the magic sun :) I still can't tell how many males or female just yet as you may be able to see the last chick is very small in size comparing to the rest.. Almost lost that little fellow on the second day after he or she hatch.. But for this clutch, i hope all are female :p  hehe... ! cos their mother is a breeders bird, which she is carrying a long genes of 12-13inch as what her breeder claims! Therefore it is going to be a great help if all of them is female, i believe many new breeder like myself understands the odds of getting any long genes female now adays.. !

Thanks for reading ! : )
