Sorry to disappoint everyone... mostly myself, but I am a very early scratching... More then happy for a reschedule...

Thanks b*****... Unfortunately it's looking possible... I'm really cross and I was all pumped for tonight... have lots of supplies etc....

:hap: :hap:

I know I have talked the talk... but may not be able to walk the walk... any chance of a reschedule???

In all honestly... I may have to pull out. I've been in bed all day and am strugggling with what seems to be the start of a migrane :hap: ... but... I'm hoping all will be well, or a re-schedule may be on the cards

Cute... well done. :hap:

tap, tap, tap...... waiting, waiting, waiting...

Looking good! Well done, especially on your own :hap:

In the Pink Corner ... Weighing in at 9 BUDGIES ..... THE QUIET BUT DEADLY MAESIE COMPETITOR ARE YOU READY!! MAESIE: YES

Sorry Kaz

Excellent! I'm sure she'll have a great life!

Excellent!!! You could try 'hiding' things in with the carrot, like the egg etc... good things to try include boiled egg, corn, silverbeet... keep it up and have an awesome weekend too

I see you're pulling out the excuses all ready Neat?!?!

Awsome Neat. I look forward to seeing them!

I can't help you with possible colours, but with candling it is eaiser to do it when it's dark as you can see the details more. She shouldn't mind to much, just take them out one at a time and candle them. You could mark any that are fertile (with a grey lead) but just do it softly. Then it will be eaiser to know the ones that should hatch. I ususally wash my hand well and dry. I have a small bowl with some tissues in it, take the eggs out one at a time and candle and then place into the bowl. When all done I replace them and the hen is happy as! Good luck and let us know how you go. Another thing to remember is to tap lightly on the door of the nesting box, to let her know you're comming. That way shy won't get a fright

Firstly hi and welcome. Budgie eggs take 18 days to hatch, but sometimes the hen (mum) doesn't sit tight right from the start, so you can always count from day one. The other thing... they may not be fertile. You'll need to candle them. Shine a torch through the eggs. You'll be able to see something in there if they are. If not they will be clear. (check out this website for more help Candeling eggs) As to your question about why she sits on them if they are infertile... sometimes they just do. Usually after awhile she'll get sick of it and leave the nest.

Excellent news. Lets hope things continue to improve.
