quite surprised checking on apples found 2 eggs at the bottom of the cage.

so I have put her nestbox back in and taken out all the fleged babies and put them in with tillys

 

So there is 2 eggs so far not sure when they was laid.I have only been changing their water because I have been flat out doing other stuff. now I will know to keep a close eye on her.

Seen signs of mating and her showing interest in nestboxing.

you have a fare few, I am hoping that my eggs of my second female (Lilly) will at least hatch one by tomorrow, as I am going away for the weekend and my parents are watching them. They are quite experienced in that area too, as they helped me when I was younger. but I have the 3 babies (still haven't posted pics and the new female). But I should stop hogging your topic, and say this on mine. good job L__J, you seem to be enjoying it.

[L__J 0]

Yeah looks like they are all settled into there own nestboxes. no fights.

 

This is my last time breeding this way. I will be away for 2 weeks so my family will be keeping a eye on them.

[L__J 0]

Well now its been awhile.

 

Skye's and Thunders eggs hatched.

2 healthy budgies that are getting fed.

Camo and Sandys

1 has hatched. they weren't looking after the little thing and I found him in the corner of the nestbox cold.

so he now has been adopted out to skye. its going well the little thing is being fed well by foster parents.

 

3 more eggs are sitting under camo and sandy.

 

tilly is on her second round but her round before that was infertile.

[L__J 0]

tilly laid 8 eggs this time but all infertile by the looks of it.

 

2 of mrs teddies hatched. there are 4 more to go for her.

 

skyes and thunders babies are doing good getting bigger and bigger.

[L__J 0]

Here are Thunder And Skyes frist little ones.

 

I will get Mum And Dad Pictures soon. but dad is a yellowface grey type 2, Mum is a Skye Blue Normal

 

Not sure on mutations.

Just going to throw my pairs up I have in the breeding cabinets.

 

Pair One

 

These guys have eggs already

 

Pair Two

 

[robyn 0]

Lovely chicks. good luck with next clutch.

Does pair 2 hen have a problem with her eye or is it just the picture? What mutation is she greywing/dilute?

[L__J 0]

Opaline Dilute

 

I know when I got her 2 years ago she had problems with her eye.

 

but she has always had a funny eye and its never effected her.

 

She has only ever laid infertile eggs but that was colony breeding.

 

I really hope to see some fertile eggs this time round.

 

if Not I guess we were mislead when we got her given to us.

Hi, if your hen has been laying eggs, fertile or not the problem may be the cock bird, she's already done her bit. Good luck with this pairing, do you know if they are a bonded pair or not? some hens will just lay eggs without mating apparently. Hope she's not one of those, if you have seen any mating behaviour between them you may be lucky this time.

[L__J 0]

This female has had plenty of mating lol.

 

These two are bonded pair.

 

The female has been threw 3 mates, so I doubt its the cock bird.

 

as that one of the cock bird has been successful with another bird.

one of apples chicks died. I checked the nest box and it was next to its other sibling all floppy when I picked it up. Its crop had no food it obviously starved to death.

[L__J 0]

Well apples has 4 chicks now.

she laid 6 eggs all up. one egg was cold, chick 2 died.

 

I am happy to see her with 4 this time.

 

One of Teddies chicks died.

She had two. the one that died was a double factor spangle male I am so devastated about this, was looking forward to a double factor spangle male. The other one is going to be a sky blue spangle.

 

June is on 4 eggs.

 

Tilly is on 3 eggs.

 

haven't disturbed my other birds really.

both parents must be split ino

[Nadene 0]

Not both split just Bart, hens can't be split for ino and the chick will be a hen.
