Here is a photo of the oldest, and youngest from that nest. The photo was taken on 8/31/09. Chick on left hatched 8/24/09 Chick on right hatched 8/29/09:
The bottom nest is a RH/PB/GB hen and a dilute YH/PB cock. I'm hoping that I will have some dilute and yellow chicks from this clutch. Their chicks started hatching today. 5 eggs out of 6 were fertile from this pair. I will take photos of them when I band in about 5-6 days.
And if you are wondering, I paired these birds up and they were laying after the article about breeding was out. If I had another YH hen, I would have paired her with my dilute male, but small breeders must make due with what they have.
