This is the third batch! How much do you recommend to sell them for (When they are old enough!)?? Should I give the mum and dad greens while they have babies?? Is the Egg and Biscuit Mix from the Grocery Store good enough for hand raising babies?? Thanks. Edited October 19, 2008 by budgiegirl013 Link to comment

Egg and biscuit can be used as a soft food to feed the parents along with their fresh food Link to comment

If this is their 3rd IN A ROW ???? I wouldn't be watching them very carefully They need alot of greens and etc like Liv has said ...... Budgie really shouldn't lay and raise 3 clutches in a row .... They can lay and raise 2 But you need to remember that Laying eggs takes alot out of a hen - Then the feeding of chicks takes even more out of them - Especially the Dad ... Now times that by 3 ... I don't mean to come across like a Nazi ... But you need to think about the Health of the parents first. If they aren't in TOP breeding Condition and HEALTH ...
