This Scotch Fancy number 3 - he's variegated but white not yellow. Lovely position though he was reluctant to show off for the camera.

Here is the nest of 4 eggs due to start hatching on Monday. These are the eggs of the parents of the three chicks.

The deep yellow hen and the singelton's father did not get on. Fighting all the time. Basically the yellow hen is not yet in breeding condition so I have reverted to my original plan and am trying her with my first green male bird. They seem to get on but he is not really fully in condition either. Maybe I'll be lucky and they'll come into condition together.

The singleton's parents are back together in a new cage - the hen was desperate to keep breeding so I'll see how she gets on.
