No you MUST wait at least until they are a year old, please dont even think about breeding the 4 month olds - they are still babies, the other 2 should be fine though!

I agree with boomberry make sure your 4 month old hen does not try breeding before 1 year old.. :D

 

Your albino sounds like she may start to breed soon. :)

as all the above have said :)

 

If you want the albino and the male to breed NOW then I would take them out into a breeding cage alone to raise the little family.

That's the setup I used. It worked fine for me.

okay great. her budgies are only 7-8 months but she's adamant she wants to breed them (i've tried talking her out of it but she won't listen!) they have definitely bonded but she says they aren't really paying any attention to the box, what advice (besides take the box out, she won't listen !) shall i give her ? do you think they'll breed ? thanks

Tell her they are too young. Tell her to think of them as 14 year old humans, would she want them to breed?
