Opal and Zephyr have become proud parents all over again which means Cosmos is a big brother! !
The newest member of the flock arrived this morning and is so far doing really well mom and dad are feeding it wonderfully.

So I wanted to introduce it to you all. It's one of 3 fertile eggs...well actually it was 4 but unfortunately it has appeared as though one of them is DIS which is really sad, I'm giving it a chance though even if I know deep down its not there, if it is as I expect, I'll bury it alongside my Toshi girl.

You can see the egg though, in beside the chick.

Mom (Opal) and Dad (Zephyr)

A little update of Cosmos as well. He's thick in his moult becoming a big-boy. He's so, so tame. AND he talks! The world gave me someone so special, exactly when I needed him.

Opal and Zephyr are gorgeous, and ohhhh that little fellow is just darling! I can imagine your delight in having him be so tame. What mutation is he @ShyEmbers ? He's gorgeous.

Thank you so much!! I think so too but I am biased. Cosmos is a yellow faced sky opaline spangle with suspected clearwing, but I'm not too sure on that one. A perfect blend of mom (A YF sky, opaline, cinnamon) and dad (Crested YF grey dom pied spangle/SP opaline)

He's just a bit of a mess atm because of his moult, but he's still stunning to me.

We have three chicks now.
7days, 3 days and 1 days old.

I'm feeling this one could be a little grey by the dark pigmentation of the skin.

Heartbreak hit this morning and I am quite emotional but thought I should update. The eldest chick passed away at 10 days old today. I have no idea why, developmentally it seemed a little delayed but it was active and eating well. I opened the box to a very pale chick, who I knew immediately had passed so I tried to push Opal off them to assess...he'd gone. I'm gutted. It was going to be a recessive pied one of my favorite mutations...I can only pray its siblings thrive.

My heart is still raw over Toshi, so I do not know if I could handle anymore loss. Be at peace lil one.
