What a lucky thing you opened it and didn't just throw it away! if it was cheeping it means it is strong and was ready to hatch anyway.

Your first baby is a hadsome dominant pied male. OMG i cant believe he got better from the swollen air sack - thats amazing ! It's this one isnt it... Well done!!!!! did you do anything to treat it???? They are all beautiful babies :rofl:

At 7 days you will not see any colour on your babies yet - you may be seeing the beginnings of the down feather coming through. Check out these links ----> Budgie milestones -----> Chick growth photos and weights

Any breeder worth their salt will know which birds are related closely. Some relation is okay, just not real close like brother/sister or mum/son etc remember quarantine for all new birds from your existing birds and if the new birds are from different places then they also need to be quarantined from each other too.

How sweet I have budgies and tiels who preen each other - its lovely when the different species get a long.

Oh good luck! i really hope the move goes smoothly and they settle in nicely for you.

WOW!! you have done heaps!! It's looking great! well done!! Hibiscus is a good one for budgies too - and is pretty :happy-dancing:

WOW!!! all those mouths to feed - he is one dedicated dad!!!!! :happy-dancing:

HE :happy-dancing: so he is

Gorgeous photos :happy-dancing: Give the little piggy a shallow dish of water with some greens it it and she should bathe herself

i agree that photos would be a great help

So sorry about the baby that died OMG 8 out of 12! Congratulations!! and they are all looking great! I am so excited about seeing the feathered photos!!

good to hear they are doing better the YF grey is a nice looking hen too

with bird cages its all about flight sapce If the pretty cage has the same flight space as the "boring" cage, then there is nothing wrong with getting the pretty one The boring cages are great for putting play gyms on the top

They are cuties I agree with MB that they look like TBC

Good luck - I really hope you find out what it is - i have everything crossed for you

I have 2 flightless budgies - both of mine are from wing breaks I hope she grows back her flights and is all better for you soon

Hello and welcome Also increase the amount of dark hours she receives by covering her cage earlier with a dark cloth - it will reduce her hormones.

I have that exact cage and stand for my birds

yes, I would be an actress at the drop of a hat - have even worked for free :rofl: Have you ever done freelance work? - i am just starting

:rofl: Very cute!!

Lovely photos Deb - your boys are looking very handsome indeed

can you provide a photo?? Cleaning very young chicks can be tricky as there is a great risk of chilling. Is it caked on them? What nesting material are you using?

WOO HOO!!!! Well done Jenene!!! :anim_19: Congratulations :anim_19: :budgiedance:

Thay are cool links Elly. There is also a white bandage tape that is not very sticky - you can get it from the chemist.
