oh okay I was wondering what to expect but I guess I don't expect. Lumina laid 7 eggs last time I was wondering if she would lay the same this time, she has two so far but if you add the one she laid first on the floor thats three. But she's not interested in that.

They're beautifull Pearce

I wasn't sure where to post this, it also may seem like a stupid question but I was curious if hens lay the same amount of eggs each time they are bred?

Wow! he was beautifull I'm sorry for the loss May he rest in peace

she is sitting on the egg though Thanks for telling me about the candeling I forgot since last time I bred them

I love your recessive pied he is gorgeous.

Well after she began acting like she wanted to breed and laid an egg on the floor. I added the box and two days later an egg was in it and is sitting. But I don't think it's fertile she's not really alowing George to mate with her why? But also if I take the cover off the cage she wont sit on the egg. Maybe she does'nt like the light shinning through the hole. So I keep them covered but I don't find it fair leaving George in the dark.

so I can't get blue's?

I was wordering if I can get blue chicks from a green pair? Can Lumina and George my normal greens have a chance at blue chicks? George my male came from a clutch of all blue chicks One normal blue and two yellow face type 2 oplaline all males his parents were a normal green male and a yellow faced type 2 cinnimon opaline female. And Lumina I don't know her parents but she and George had a clutch in october last year and got two normal greens a cinnamon normal green and a recessive pied 3 females and a male Do you think they can have blue chicks?

I moved her yesterday and added the box that night. She's been sitting in it and her butt looks big but I havent seen any mating but I dont think she's incredibly cofortable with the box yet

she's only laid one egg on the floor of her cage I just need to move her because where she is, is akward for a breeding box to be put on I'de disturb her all the time I go to check eggs/chick

I think she is a yellow face not sure I'm not good with recessive's

she would be being moved from a very noisey room to a quiet room is that safe?

okay so she is fine to raise another clutch? When should I add the box? I wanted to move them into a different room a quiter less akward room is that safe?

She is two years old this year in june and I was thinking of putting the egg in a nest box, as she has laid it on the floor and is sitting on it. She is in with her mate George after being seperated for a few months too recover from her last clutch. Is it to early for her to have another clutch? Her last clutch were laid in september and hatched in october last year and it was her first. I put this up just asking what to do, to be safe. Also are they to old George is two years old and she is nearly two?

Kaz I am so glad you gave me this website, I'de hate to think what would happen if I took there advise. Some of these questons are incredibly stupid, no offence

They are beautifull Kaz, I'm acually speechless....Now I want one

Congrats both of you!!

In that large cage there's no visable holes those are shelves that you see I put vegges on them. And I don't like the grill cages i get worried that they're going to get hurt on them, and I took the newspaper out but the tray gets really dirty because she poops and throws her water onto the floor and I can't give her the tube drinkers she does'nt know how to use them. and she is not in the large cage she's in a smaller cage.

I think it's because she can see nesting boxs and somtimes she rips paper and perches up an sit in the corner. I never realised just seeing boxs could trigger it, I'm giving her egg food to get her streght up and she has idosodine blocks and 2 whole cuttle fish. should I give her any thing else? I'll get pictures of her cage later, She can also see a breeding pair they are her parents who have resently been put back in together, if that's doing anything This is the cage she can see which has two of her sisters in it the nest box on the side is blocked and the two inside don't know it's there.

I thought so, but what else can I do?

The last one is it a grey green spangle? it's gourgess

I've seperated her from all her siblings weeks ago probly months ago because I blamed her brother for her laying an egg but later found her sister mating! I was quite shocked, so I immediately seperated all of the siblings. She layed about three eggs while she was together with her siblings. then when I seperated them she stopped then I thought phew this is the end of that problem. And since then she's layed about 5 more but after she lays them I throw them away so am I causing it? if not what is? She seems pretty healthy other than the egg laying. The eggs she lays are strong shelled. No blood on them. You can tell she's young she still has the bars and no iris's.

I've found out today it was Coco a cinnamon hen well what I thought was a hen but I saw her/him mate properly with Kiwi the one who's laying oall the eggs. Can two of the same sex budgies mate? but then why is she laying eggs? I know that hens can just lay eggs but she's so young I've put Kiwi in her own cage now untill I solve this.

It looks female in the first picture but - Was the photo taken with a flash? no flash, isn't it strange? it looks like that naturally and it used to have a bright pink beak so whats up?
