I will try to put a photo on tomorrow as I am on my iPod at the moment. But please help I am so excited but not so excited that I watch constantly. I just check them morning and night. Thanks for thoughts but will try to get photo up quickly. Link to comment

But you might see her sleep in the nestbox the night before she lays. Link to comment

Looks like you went out at night and took photos. Sometimes we need to let the budgies do their thing. I notice you are colony breeding, I think the best way to do colony breeding is going in there once every 3 days. but still change the water every day. my water is close to the entrance.

Exciting times ahead. Keep in mind some hens may not sit on eggs untill the 3rd or 4th egg has been laid. Hopefully you will have your first pinky in 18-21 days. Link to comment
