Excuse their face they were just feed and mums had spinish.. Here is Angel & Michaels ( they are stating to mate again ) And for the topic of red eyes ... Here is Starchky and Margoo and the red eye the other 2 are about 7,9and 11 days old.... Now Funny enought my other hen - Ozzie had her 2nd hatchling today and it will be red eye too the father is Prince a Colbalt Dom and she is a Green Lacewing SF ( okay so i think ) and i noticed that even thought it eyes aren't open they are red and the other is black ..... This Could Also be because I am Coloney breeding ... I KNOW I KNOW it is frowned upon... But so far everything has been going great.... They all have their own nest box no extras that were recommended - But I am moving ( fingers crossed ) with in the month and I have a huge garden shed ( Given to me ) that I am turning into my breeding room and Nursery..... I have straw and Hay at the bottom of the aviary incase the little buggers fall - but have a huge branch / trunk in the avairy so if they aren't fly properly they can at least climb up ......

Parents arent always the parents you think they are. Budgies can get up to mischief when our backs are turned and they colony breed.

I KNOW I KNOW it is frowned upon... Colony breeding is fine as long as you do it right and keep a close eye on them. There is a great article in our FAQ section on colony breeding...

Just watch as others have said, when one batch is finishing & another starting, is a dangerous time with colony breeding, all of a sudden one hen may decided she wants a new nest & go to the neighbours & commit murder…colony breeding can work for some time, but it’s like Russian roulette, you never know when the loaded cartridge is due. Good luck. Link to comment
