But we'll give each pair a number Pair number one... okay here are the pictures of two very naughty hens, their new names are the rebels... A lutino and a grey cinnanom... and the cock.. i dont know what colour he is but he is an opaline and is split for lutino well any way, this cock has been mating with both the hens, and they are sharing the same nest. on day one i was here, there was one egg and the next day there was 3 eggs!! i mean, how many eggs can one budgie lay, so these sisters must be really good pals to work together and lay eggs together, however i am concerned what is going to happen when the chicks hatch..... well see what you guys have to say.... im going to buy some more nests soon anyway... :rofl: and now... Pair 2 they already have 6 eggs... grey-green-yellow cinanom opaline hen split blue... and the cock is a laurel split lutino and blue and opaline if a bird can be split for opaline pair 3... they have 3 eggs a lutino hen(this picture is bad) and an aqua spangle cock(i dont know what this gu is split for, bought him) Pair 4 which have 4 eggs.. an albino hen and a skyblue opaline cock.....probably split lutino (whoops...accidently deleted his picture..he looks nice..anyway) And the next two pairs are in seperate cages.. Pair 5...have 5 eggs A grey-green spangle cock(split unknown) on the left and the hen, a skyblue dominant pied(SF) she was to fast to take a proper picture... and Pair 6 I dont have any pictures of these guys but maybe in the future the cock is a normal yellow face type two violet and the hen is a normal cobalt split recessive pied they have 4 eggs... theres this pair as well that was mating, the cock being a clearwing and the hen being a double factor spangle, but they dont have a nests...well give it a name if they lay eggs. any way, i am so excited!!! Anyone got any tips or tricks??? :question: Link to comment

When you are talking aout renest and recoop, what do you mean? Anyway, once the rain stops i want to see if anyones laid anything.. Link to comment

If you put her in a cage with a lamp for recuperation she may lay another egg off the perch but she will stop. Leaving her in there fighting for a nestbox is not a good idea. Iots stressful and she can get sick from stress over fighting for a place to lay an egg. Hens have killed each other over nestboxes. Link to comment

A desk lamp, a lamp for the bedroom, or a car trouble lamp with a 25 to 40 watt glove will do ( not energy saver globes ) .....if not just bring the budgie inside for awhile in another cage.

Also the day before i took the Lutino away so she probably feels threatened being left by herself Link to comment

Dominant piedy has still 7 eggs and cobalt and yellowface are stuck on 5 eggs All is going good after these nests are finished i am going to take the nests out of the avairy...From then on i wont let the avary birds breed in their because they always fight and stuff. Also i almost forgot to add i have a new male chinese painted quail...he is so adorable and is very shy...when we put him in a bigger box he flew out stright like a helicopter!!!! i have seen pictures of quail babies...they are like the little yellow fake chicks you see around easter im on a roll!!!LOL very happy Link to comment

She can want to be a good mother, but other birds can prevent this Edited July 8, 2009 by KAZ Link to comment
