Shannon I have had ordinary chicks win high awards at a latter time. I've also have outstanding chicks that didn't develop in to what I had hoped for. If you want to get involved in Showing budgerigars, you need to let the chicks develop. Many show breeders won't let a chick go untill they are about 10 months old. Link to comment

Pocket money isnt everything. A lot of show types babies take all of 8 months or more to show what they will turn out like. Selling them as nippers is way too soon. Link to comment

But I agree with Kaz, if you are breeding for show and really only in the beginning stages, I would be holding on to birds for much longer to see how they turn out before considering selling them. Looks like you have some great stock to work with so I would be holding on to the chicks for now if I had your birds in my aviary! Link to comment

If you cull so early you will never get to see how they turn out. A few surprise you. I have had some that looked nothing much in the nest and 8 months later looked brilliant. Link to comment

You do not want to sell a prize winning bird do you. If you cannot decide for yourself whether to keep or sell the baby you can ask someone on the forum if it is a good show bird or if it should be culled. I do the same thing, I ask a few friends which birds should be culled and which are good. Link to comment
