Neat

Most hens have an egg bum with in 24 -48 hours of laying an egg... Give a drop of calcivet on beak if egg bound should pass in the next 30 mins

Dave .. They are GREAT! Glad to hear the sick one is doing better

MB yes NIGER we all make mistakes I just take the share of those that don't make them that often LOL

Most budgie won't eat wattle ... Some do though ... Leaves a bitter taste in their mouth ... MATE GREAT JOB!!!! Look up butterfly gardens - also Hibiscus native birds like too

LOL .. sorry ... It is the little tiny racist seeds ni ger , Line seed, and i forget the other seed .little flat red one .. It is like a tonic - I also added a fledgling mix to it as well Fledgling mix consists of Sunflower seed 1% rolled oats 2% Chick Starter %1 dried rosemary %1 along with the normal seeds

IF you can try to get Golden Cob .. Budgie Blue .these are pre made with the a rather good ratio of seeds ..or go to a Bird supplies or a produce store ... I have now started making my own blends up varying from 60-80% canary then millets, niger and a few other extra's As far as pellets go .... Just feed your bird Dried dog food it has the same nutritional value ... Or supply a multi vit supplement or block ... Your bird looks IN TOP CONDITION .... DID the vet tell you the weight? See how the VET pushed the pellets ( most vets get goodies for selling slow moving products) As if you can't buy pellet elsewhere .. My Avian vet ( probably 3rd best in NSW if not Aust) would never tell me to feed pellets .... Enough of the jabbering ... Just wanted to know how much he weighs?

LOL ... Wait to you feed her carrots she turns orange all over

WHOOOO HOOOOO GO JENENE Congrats mate !

Never complain about to many hens It is usually the other way around

Bowe Looks Rainbow Poor Princess looks shocking in that picture LOL .... She will moult out a nice lilac colour Jazz ( the name) They look happy mate all the birds

Deb They look sooooo Handsome :question:

I had 1 hen that was a very messy feeder - I used a warm cloth and cleaned them up ... I'd hate it if i had food stuck on my face all day :question: If you do remove chicks make sure that they are warm - Ie a high side container so the wind doesn't blow on them :rip:

So Cute .....

Could be a Number of things - From a bacterial infections to something that no one wants in their aviary .. Best bet is to take any surviving birds to a Avian Vet and get a look over - If none are surviving grabs some Poo that is in the nest box or cage or flooring and get it tested! Death of a Clutch and or parents is NOT A GOOD SIGN

Hi Bredz .... I am so happy to hear that this little one is doing great guns Only thing that i have a problem with is ........ NO PICTURE YET :hap: Good luck & keep up the good work

Dave ( hubby ) clipped one of my babies i was taming up ( a while back now ) and he did the same thing!!! Need less to say i was NOT IMPRESS!

The fumes from the Chilli's being cooked / Fired etc can be harmful so I am not 100% sure on this answer though .. Maybe a bit of research

LOL ...... mine either I think i have "Bad Boy" budgies and the thought of them sitting with a hen will wreck their image

I bet your "girls" are your life mate ........ Birds are nice too ... I am pretty sure that they are getting spoilt rotten ..... Thanks for the update mate - I was wondering how they were

Hi & Welcome to BBC Sorry to hear of your loss .. Personally as a breeder I think that you should by from a breeder not a pet shop ... They tell you that the birds have been wormed and use a multi vitamin supplement in their water But they DO NOT QUARANTINE new birds ( well the ones that I have been to) - As Health is the No1 Key in purchasing a new bird - Most breeders have that in their mind 110% of the time .... If you are going to buy from a breeder be sure to check out their set up .... Look for sick / un well birds kept with others Smell ..... Smell the place does it stink! ( no one thinks of this one) Check for mice / rats traps - Check the seed levels and water levels ( most time the water or seed will have poo in it which is totally understandable but not a day or 2 worth) That is probably the best advice I could give you ..... Good luck with looking for a new bird ....

okay since you are thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking ... Do up a list Pros & Cons of a budgie ..... Pros & cons of a canary You should have your answer

Neville would you say yellow face or goldenface? If that is Dad in the background photo he is a Golden face .. Well looks it from here

I reckon Charcoal .... It won't clash with the Black trimming .... It will set off the Blonde brick work and well blend in with the terracotta colours ( it's a dark grey colour) So yeah I agree with Kaz
