OK I am writing down your egg recipe and calling it Peeps Eggs. I might ground almonds and add. What do you think of that?
Mr Peepers (08-18-2015)
I don't know if I would put almonds in it, maybe someone else can give you an idea with any egg type food they might have fed their birds when breeding and nesting with chicks.
I would be concerned if the almonds gave off a type of protein that might mix with the boiled egg and cause it to turn.
This mixture was what I fed to Peepers when I first got him, he was under weight and needed some fast nutrients. He must have thought he was in hog heaven, fresh veggies chopped in egg with quinoa. He loved this mixture.
@spiritbird I looked up the possibilities of babies
1.0 is Male
0.1 is Female
If your male is the Cobalt and the Female is the Turquoise then if the male is also split to Ino these are the results that can come from a Pairing
Cock: cobalt split to ino
Hen: turquoise split to -
Result:
12.50 % 1.0 cobalt
12.50 % 1.0 turquoise
12.50 % 0.1 cobalt
12.50 % 0.1 turquoise
12.50 % 1.0 cobalt /ino
12.50 % 1.0 turquoise /ino
12.50 % 0.1 creamino+1df
12.50 % 0.1 creamino
However if he is not split then you have This pairing result
Cock: cobalt split to -
Hen: turquoise split to -
Result:
25.00 % 1.0 cobalt
25.00 % 1.0 turquoise
25.00 % 0.1 cobalt
25.00 % 0.1 turquoise

Thanks Mr. Peepers (siggy)

Exactly what does split mean? Tango had 3 hatch mates that were all green. I do not know about Kobe. Thanks for doing that.
Looked up the answer for meaning of split. . Split is just "bird talk" for heterozygous. Heterozygous means carrying a recessive trait. So I am guessing this means Tango is split green?

Nick I ordered that egg food from Amazon yesterday afternoon and to my amazement it was delivered to my door at 2 pm today. Now that's prime at its best!

That's excellent fast delivery.
Try your two eating it with just a little water and see if they like it, it has honey in it so entice them. If they don't go for it then I'd try mixing in their favorite chopped veggies.
And then you can add it to hard boiled eggs and veggie mixes. I'll be curious to see how they like it.
