and Welcome what club do you belong to

Shannon this one is a keeper really lovely he has directional feather, width of face love to see him once he caps. What breeding is he if you don't mind me asking. my love

I agree with Nubbly I think it's better to let the parents raise they do a better job

Yes I do regularly

My hen was normal and then it happened last year, a breeder told me that these things happen they crash into thw wire etc but I think it was from her last clutch of eggs.

UPDATE I seperated these 2 as I didn't think the hen was ready as she was bickering at him for 3 days, I put him with a cobalt spangle no picture at this stage. Violet Cock my strongest one and grey cinnamon spangle half brother half sister ( same father) I seperated these 2 too as the ccok didn't seem interested and he is still running with 2 hens. Grey green spangle cock ( my foundation cock) Lt Green spangle hen These have 3 babies one more to hatch but are all under foster parents. they are so far two cinnamon hens and one split cinn cock Grey green cock and grey green cinnamon opaline hen This pair have one fertile egg which is ready to hatch any day, I can hear the chick in side. This pair laid their 1st egg yesterday Dark green cock brother to the violets and sky hen this pair layed their 1st egg yesterday too This pair my foundation cock and the hen are the parents to my yellow df spangle well thier eggs wre all clear so they are down again, I am running him with 3 hens this time.

I had a hen like that it was a dislocated hip.

Great shot Kazzy congratulations :hug:

I don't think i will get anything out of him because I think he is a dud

Yes they are all from good blood , I don't have pet budgies haven't the space. The foster parents are these 2 which I was hoping to get young from the hen is Watson blood and the cock Henry George blood

Hi all, 1st baby hatched today, 3 more fertile eggs in the nest which are being fostered. Parents are This is thier daudgher from last year

Sorry but I'm with Macka on this one but it is very sad poor little thing.

No Jimmy but I have foster parents down to help

I will Jimmy he is my man boy need to take care of him but he loves his ladies. If I left in the nest to raise all his young that would be different but all he is doing servicing the hens and then he is out in the aviary again.
