Neat

How long ago did she lay the eggs? As she may not be incubating yet - Plus the weather is extremly hot at the moment

sorry for her losses

Was going to say that Kaz you beat me to it :hi: chances are you will get all greens or yellows - Unless both parents are split to blue or Ino

Your Pregnant (* would be a girl as everyone else i know that is - is having girls)

Not yet mate .... Sperm count would be way to low also being a dad is alot of hard work especially the feeding ... Best to wait a while ... a longer while

Hi & Welcome Tamara.... I would like to welcome you to BBC, There is alot of information in the breeding section as well as great HOMEMADE recipes in the nutrition section have a squezzy in there :hi: It is good to see that you learnt to post pictures and at the correct size to so THANK YOU I look forward to hearing more about you and your birds ... Keep us posted on the babies and most of all feel free to ask all the questions you want

Great Photo's thanks for sharing ... The 2nd photo I turned to a link as it is outside the size requirements to be posted it is a great photo so if you could resize it to 640*480 then we all can see it :cake:

Hi and Welcome :cake: Great place to be :cake:

Well done ... They are going to love it ..... Congrats mate :cake:

LIV has a Cockateil forum in her signature That is a Hen - Bars on the tail or spot under the wing indicate a hen :cake: also paler face ...But i have seen Pearls that are male

Sounds good mate .....

Great advice given ... The perches will help with their feet and also help with boredom as they will shred the bark of them :cake:

Yep what they said :lol2: You have been given great advice - I'll just add ... Congrats on the eggs and fingers crossed for healthy happy babies :cake:

I agree - Quarantine! There could be numerous reasons for my it is limping and is ruffled ..... If you are wanting to keep it ...Contact your local Avian vet and get him looked at .....

I never had a problem with that one - But the balls never last long with my birds ..... Thank you for sharing

Agree ..... with Daz 100% *** Little Off Topic ***For those that want to learn have a look at the ceres on the cocks ( males) and then look at the cere's on the hens ( females) You will notice the colour is different .... Kaz has posted a few " Test" "examples" on sexing budgies have some fun with it

I too use a net ... ( $2 Shop's have Butter fly nets and fish nets ) I had a fish net but now as i have show birds i got a butterfly net - Much quicker then using the hand - The iverm* won't hurt the bird next time try holding the bird with it's head between your index and middle finger have your thumb and ring finger around the body When ready to apply it add a little pressure ( L I T T L E ) and put the ivermec on the neck ( under the feathers) between the web of your index and middle finger .... But you can practice this technique before applying

Couple of ideas for you , The Hen has held fertile sprem from the previous matings for the first egg to be fertile, The young chicks that are out are interupting the mating parents , The cock bird is worn out from feeding and not in condition to produce fertile sperm, Pluck the cock birds feathers from the vent area so you have a more successful chance of mating, you can also do the hen. Move the young out if they are feeding by themselves to a nappy cage so the parents can get back down to business. Lochlan fantastic reply - It is great to read what members have learnt - replied in questions ....... I had posted Videos for egg candling - But the websites are working

Hobbies - I barely have time to to get on to BBC due to the Boring School Holidays :cake: That has to be 1 sweet camera those photo's are great with out the use of a flash ...... Love the Beer picture LOL ...........

:cake: WOW ..... She is a stunning bird ......

When I looked at the picture I seen a YF2 There is bleeding ( where the feathers look green) all the way down to the rump :cake: Also, Being opaline i couldn't see the Bleeding in the wings However when I look at the flights there is Yellow on them too

Cock ... Too purple in the cere to be hen

I agree with the others 6 - 7 weeks old AS LONG AS THEY CAN EAT - FLY - AND FEND FOR THEMSELVES It also Depends if they are pet or show types If they are Show types and your are in the " Show side" of the hobby best to wait like Daz said 3 - 4 months (after their first molt) so you can see the potential that they may or may not have If they are pet type 6 - 7 weeks so they can be tamed and bond better ..... :cake:

Totally agree you have a hen and a cock and they look like brother and sister :fear .... Better late then never

Congrats on the Eggies mate .... Hope they all stay healthy for you
