1st hatched Sunday 4th July and is an Opaline Dark Green.

2nd hatched Wednesday 7th July and is either a Lutino or Recessive Pied.

3rd hatched Friday 9th July and is a Normal Green series.

1 egg was clear, 1 dead in shell.

Whisper was unable to sit on her first 3 eggs as she has developed a bony growth on the end of her keel. This kept splitting the skin. She is perfectly fine now although the bony growth is still present. I gave the 3 eggs to my Bourke to foster, but they proved clear.

Whisper is an excellent mother, although she does have a tendancy to pluck her chicks' backs. This is probably due to this being her first ever clutch and should improve with experience. Aspen doesn't go into the box, but just feeds Whisper from the hole.

Genetically the pairing between Aspen & Whisper could not produce a Normal bird as they are both Opaline Spangles. Therefore I can conclude that this hen has been sired by an NSL Lutino.
