Im more worried about the cold.

My other birds are show rung but these ones are pet birds.

Looks excellent shannon. A computer in your bird room, awesome. will the aviary birds stay in their current aviaries? How big is the nursery flightgoing to be do you know?

First one looks like a cobalt opaline dom pied. Possibly violet? Second one: The colour of the cheek patch looks grey to me so I say grey green. If they are violet or blue it is a olive. Opaline hen. The birds are very nice.

No they are pet rung.

Is your breeding room insulated and heated shannon.

The albino cocks ceres stay blue and the hens ceres go brown when matured, like any other hens. Your bird looks hen to me.

Another nice hen chrissy, wel done.

I will check every day to make sure all chicks have been fed, if any problems occur I will foster the eldest. Thankyou all for your excellent help.

How come he chose you as the best answer when he didnt like your answer? I've answered on that site before and someone made idiotic remarks, I've now left the site.

Welcome jenny. I look forward to hearing your experiences.

Maybe I should not foster them then? The parents are both excellent feeders and all chicks have been fed since the beginning. The chicks are not old enough to pose a threat yet.

Could it be scaly face kaz?

okay so that is excellent. Just making sure nothing bad will happen when I foster the young chicks in tomorow. the other 2 eggs hatched today so now their is 8 chicks in one nest, all a range of sizes. Atleast 2 will be fostered. Anyone ever had 8 chicks in one nest before?

I remember a few years ago I was breeding birds and I would only ever get male birds. Always 75% males and 25% females. Now its changed, 75% females 25% males. I wonder why.

After 5 weeks and no action I would split the pair up. Rest them for a week or so and pair them with other birds. Could be many factors causing the pair to not breed.

Will fostering 2 16 day old blue chicks to a nest with 3 green 20 day old chicks cause confusion with the hen? Will she know that they are not hers and try to kill them?

I agree, a nice soft food mix is excellent. My breeders get hulled oats aswell as some egg food and various vegetables.

I would love a clutch of all hens,

1st one hen 2nd one hen 3rd one, Im no good at babies this young but I say hen. fourth one looks hen to me also.

First one looks double factor. Second one looks single factor to me, Third one sf fourth one sf, and a beauty. He is a really nice looking bird chrissy.

I say cock.

14 rung babies this year shannon excellent work. Will selling the 10 cockatiels pay for the breeding cages?

are you colony breeding? How many nest boxes are in the aviary? Yes they can go for a second round in a row if they look healthy and are still in breeding condition.
