Ramblings on my stud of budgerigars, exhibition budgerigars in general, maybe genetics & statistics and possibly real life.

Looking at the next breeding season: cocks

I've already posted about my own cocks. I've got two outcross cocks to complement my own cocks. They also bring in necessary fresh blood. They come from two of the three breeders on which my stud is founded.
Most cocks and hens are still relatively young (including the first outcross) so I won't have all the boxes filled from the start of the season.

The 6 main cocks:
   * grey green spangle opaline-cinnamon cock (outcross from AndrĂ© Goossens)
   * light green cock that cought my eye because of its mask (outcross from partnership Heylen)
   * (131GAOC)299 - blue cock (2011)
   * (AC112)286 - A. yellow face cinnamon cock (2011)
   * (AC110)376 - light green cock (2011)
   * (131GAOC)298 - sky blue opaline-cinnamon cock (2011)

The 4 second rate/spare cocks that will also get a hen:
   * (AC62)131 - A. yellowface cock (2010)
   * AC - light green cock (2009 outcross from AndrĂ© Goossens)
   * (AC62)136 - A. yellowface cock (2010)
   * (LG66)8 - sky blue cinnamon cock (2009)

These next 3 will be kept as backup for the second rate cocks:
   * (GO63)48 A. yellow face violet opaline cock with lots of spots
   * (150133)164 a dark dark green cinnamon with huge spots
   * (13105)268 A. yellowface cock

All other cocks are clearly less and won't make the breeding team.
