Now that you have extra boxes it should calm down. Also make sure your birds are all the right age - over 1 year and for the hens under 4 years. Hens that are too young will cause trouble like this (eating/breaking eggs) Link to comment

You need a degree in budgie psychology as well as tons of space and twice as many nestboxes as pairs of birds. I have done it before on a big scale, but it's very hard to do successfully. Her is an article I wrote which may help you with some tips.. http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/faqs/i...&artlang=en Cheers kaz Link to comment

I can't read the future and tell you 100% that yes you will be successful. No matter what type of breeding (colony or closed) it depends on the work that you put into make it work.

One of my hens looks in the breeding box where another one of my hens is nesting and i saw her once pull on her tail feathers wat could this be. I ddont know if this is scraing the hen into not laying or sitting on her eggs. Also how do you get the pics under your user name like you have the cat with the toilet paper I hope my breeding works out. Edited September 5, 2007 by Nerwen unnecessary quotes Link to comment
