ok so far yum yum and shadow have 1 egg the last time these 2 mated they produced 1 chick that was a heavy pied but we no that shadow is split to lutino so we should also see some wf lutino chicks wich would be all white

 

[allen]

ok so here is what has happened sasha and rapture laid 3 eggs before rapyure sat an them all day long so when rapture came out i expected sasha to go in and sit not so i waited for 45 minutes then i noticed sasha fell asleep on the perch rapture never went back in so i put the eggs in with yum yum boy that was a chalange and a half i had to block yum yum from tearing my hand off she is very protective of the eggs even with shadow she comes out of the box long enough to do her business and for a drink and for some food then she is back in and chases shadow off of them she lets him sit beside her but thats all i did put 2 fake eggs in the nest with sasha and rapture mind you this is there very first time mating but it is the 2nd time for yum yum

Adorable! It's interesting to see the difference in the inos and the standards - the inos look so strange with those red eyes and light feathers!
