I would also do the same but beware because i have a budgie that had 8 eggs she hatched seven of them and the youngest was squashed by the others so maybe only six under each hen would be good..That is still a lot for them to cope with goo luck with it though.

He has nice markings but have you clipped his wings?

I breed and a good way to get them into breeding condition is extend the day by putting a light on in their roost. Budgies will naturaly go into breeding condition in the wild when the days grow longer. Spray budgies with luke warm water every day it perks them up. Give plenty of food and let nature do the rest. One point when they have hatched the eggs put a night light in the area of their cage as this will help mum to find her way back to the box if she has to come out of a night time. If she can't get back the chicks will die. Good luck and keep us posted.

Try soaking the millet in water with sterelisation fluid in it this kills the mould that can grow after picking the millet and cause crop infections. It also softens the seed and makes it easier to eat. You could try apple too y budgies love it. Good luck
