I used to breed cockatiels and kept them in a large outdoor aviary. It was fun. Until snakes at most of them (true story). Keeping a hand-tamed budgie or cockatiel in a cage wouldnt be bad as long as it gets plenty of out of cage time and enrichment.
There were several non-naked necked pullet chicks hatched from the Red Necker project in the incubator, but so far only one true Red Necker pullet with a NN. Hopefully more to hatch!
:wee

They don’t breed true, that is correct. They can throw Mottled Bronze, so technically a Mottled Bronze is a variation of the Painted gene (cm). Two painted birds will throw painted, grizzled black painted, fawn, mottled bronze, black tuxedos, and white. Factor in slate or chocolate and you...
The first few chicks have hatched. They are still wet but looks like a White Leghorn chick, a Red Necker cockerel chick (naked necked), and a Red Necker project pullet chick (non-naked necked). Any non-naked necked pullet will strictly be a layer. Non-naked necked cockerels will be culled out...
