Egg
Take them out if they are infertile is okay. But if she lays to many you said its okay,but you have the same problem. Take some out and she will throw the rest out,which might be fertile? How many is to many?

Egg
i took one of the clear eggs out to look in side, it was infertile. the next day the hen threw the over 4 eggs out. so they do know if you take just one egg out.I didn't think she would notice. But the others were infertile anyway. I could of lost fertile eggs?just by taking one bad egg out. So next time i shouldn't take any eggs out ,unless they are all infertile?

This is what my birds are getting. Budgie mix no1,millet spray,iodine block,cuttlebone, oystershell,charcoal,Grit,Pym bird tonic,Lettuce,egg mix food. I have seen many other products like Sea salt,Aves Probiotics, Aves Maxixand the list goes on. Are my birds getting enough vitamins and minerals, or should i be buying all these products.

Breeding cage
I was given a breeding box 24 inches long x15inches high 10inches deep. With nestbox on outside.Is that to small. It looks way to small to me. But only little smaller than Hath's at 24x18x12. When the babies leave the nestbox there wouldn't be much room in a small cage, so when do you put them in aviary.
-
Breeding cage
Hath thats about 60cm long, Don't they get stressed out in a a tiny cage. Do you put the **** and hen in the same time.
-
Breeding cage
As i have only breed in the aviary i'm going to try breeding cages. Not sure how they work. I have seen a single breeding cage its only 60cm in length that looks to small is that size okay. Plus i have seen a double breeding cage 100cm. Is a double breeding cage for 1 pair of budgies or 2 pairs. I was thinking of using a double for 1 pair.
