Welcome!

okay thanks Kaz, Is eight babys alot to handle? last time she only had four so that has doubled, I know that not all the eggs will hatch, but to be safe

Good luck to you both,I hope he pulls through

Aww what a cutie, he enjoys a head scratch more than my boy Oushi

Can I get it in England do you think? She has eight fertile eggs now, The first is due to hatch in two days

Oh my gosh he's so big!!

Okay Lumina(Lulu) my hen has a clutch of eggs, six of them and is still laying and 5 defanly are fertile and I think the sixth is and if all of them hatch I'de like to asist her in feeding them not full time but if I needed to I would. But just to be safe I was going to get some hand feeding mix. But I was wondering if anyone had a healthyer recipe. We are quite bonded and she does'nt mind me touching baby's.

Look I have a picture to show a pied chick

4 eggs fertile out of 5 the 5th is still to young for another to days and she's about to lay another tonight or tomorrow.But won't the older babies be fledged when the younger ones are born? No I don't.

Poor baby, hope he gets well soon

last time she had 7 eggs and four hatched, I'm worried she'll lay the same and they'll all be fertile and she'll have to much to cope with.

Three out of five eggs fertile two eggs are still too young to tell and I'm begining to think they'll all be fertile. Will she be able to cope with five or more chicks at one time? I know a few or all might not hatch but I'm just wodering.

Cute!

That's amazing! I watched this programe on T.V about a girl who had seizure's and had low self asteam because of her conddition so her best friend took her to a pet store. There was a male blue budgie on his own in the cage, she bought him and they became the best of friends. And one day the budgie began squaking and flying around the girl, she had a seizure and when she woke up the budgie was sat on her chest. So ever since that day every time the budgie acted strange she lay down on her bed and when she awoke her budgie would always be sat next to her. This is just shows how amazing animals can be, and how simple there actions are that safe other's lives.

This will be my second time breeding this pair last year in October they produced a beautifull clutch of four gourgess baby's. That was their first breeding attempt, pretty good concidering I thought none would hatch. Now just this morning I candled the four of Lumina's eggs and two were fertile!! and two were not but one is still too young. I've been feeding egg food to them but it's the only thing Lumina seems to eat, why? and is it better for her than seed? Also she hates George going in the nest box. Is that normal? She was the same last time untill the chicks hatched. I thought picture's would be nice George Junior(The Cock) Lumina(The Hen) I'm hoping for Opaline's because I love opaline's(George is split to opaline)

Is the yellow a spangle?? he's cute

They are beautifull Emma

looks female to me, but you could wait if you like

I almost did I had three hens and cock they laid 7 eggs but four hatched

If I take the eggs she lays more to replace them, I dont like grates if you can reasure me she wont hurt her feet in them I'll use it I have one.

Welcome to the forums...

they look all hens to me....

Kiwi my 5 month old female laid an egg yesterday and I havent took it away because of her laying another but tonight she has to eggs and is sitting on them both. She is on her own her light is five or six hours a day then she is in a midiam darkish place but not covered. How do I stop this once and for all she's my little baby and is precious to me, please help

Her beak is shut when she trusts like when male court females, She is in a cage on her own mid hight but I aproach the cages on my knees to be lower than them. And her siblings are in the same room as her but different cages. But she's going into her molt and she laid an egg a few weeks back.

Kiwi my 5 month old female does this thing when ever I'm by the cage she like goes realy low down and stiff with her head in the air. She also beak thrusts the bars when I'm near her or if I put my finder in she'll beak thrust, Is that normal??
