Nothing Is Happening
just an update, Today I went out to check on the eggs because I saw the hen going in and out of another nest box. When i checked them they were all cold and she wasnt even worried about them. I removed them and took them inside. They all looked from the outside that there was yolk all down the bottom with nothing else, so my husband opened one. The babies had not formed at all. Is there a reason this would have happened? was she not sitting on them correct? should I let her try again since this was her first and hope things work next time?

i have just checked on the eggs again and they seem to be turning a different colour, not the pinky colour like in the picture. The mum still seems to be sitting on them continuously though. Should I just remove them and give her a break, maybe try again orleave them? Is there some way once removed they can be incubated just in case. Im just worried as to how long she can stay there.

What Are These?
thanks, the second actually is a real pale mauve colour, she is my mum sitting on eggs at the moment and the green with yellow face has blue through his tail if this helps. the green seems to be the father. What colours might they produce? Sorry for being a pain it's all new to me. I am actually looking into getting a new pair and breeding them in a seperate cage. The blue seems to be more inquisitive than anything and the recessive pied just keeps to herself

Nothing Is Happening
there is still no sign of anything happening with these eggs. Im really starting to worry. I think I will leave it still at least another week or so but wish something would happen soon. My children are so excited and keep asking me if they have hatched yet. I am thinking of getting a new pair and putting in a separate cage. Does anyone know of any good places in perth and what cost for the birds I would be looking at? Thanks

these are the best pics I could get. Hope you can see their colours enough etc. Thanks for your help. I have also read the hen can sit too tight on the eggs. How can you determine this

Nothing Is Happening
hi, I had no luck with candling the eggs but once I saw the picture with difference in colour I now know I should hvae 4 fertile eggs and one infertile. How silly of me I kept wondering why that one was a different colour. Will be going out soon to check on the eggs so fingers crossed

i think I will try the candling, when is the best time to do this? I dont want to disturb her too much. I might wait until tomorrow (the 23rd) and try then if nothing is happening. Thanks, Im finding out heaps of info on here. Could anyone tell the possible colour outcomes of the babies. The mum is white with pale violet on her chest and the male is a mixture of olive green with blue and yellow through him. I think they called him a rainbow? Thanks again

can someone please help me, our budgies laid 5 eggs with the first being laid around the first of august. How long before they start to hatch? She sits on them all day and night, and always on them all. will they eventually hatch or are the infertile? If they are infertile why does she still sit on them? Thankyou
