Thankyou all very much i dont think the chick had been fed at all it took a very long time to get fully out of egg all day and night it looked all normal it even had little feathers on it i just dont understand what went wrong it look so strong and then bang she keep it so close to her and sat on it to keep it warm but i dont know if she didnt know how to feed it or if she knew something was wrong with it im not sure but it did look like its bottom or tummy popped it was like it messed it self a bit and the tummy was all just floppy skin the other egg hasnt hatched at all so i have still left it with her but how long do i have to leave it with her before i can take the nest box out fully i want to set it up better this time and when do you let them try again thankyou

well im so upset my little baby budgie died this afternoon i took it out of the nest and had a good look at it the little tummy was all orange colour and near it bottom a bit brown everything else looked normal and it was sounding healthy i check the other egg and it looks clear i think it stopped developing because it did have red veins like the other one at 6 days should i take the egg out aswell or leave it there for a while longer for her as i just took her baby off her i feel so sorry for her she is so protective i took me 10 mins to get her off the dead baby and other egg just before.

baby budgie is all the way out of shell but looks very tired and mum hasnt fed it as yet how long do i wait for her to fed before i worry thankyou by the way i didnt think they were that tiny when born they all looked bigger in your photos of new borns there ugly but cute

hi thankyou very much everyone i just wanted to know how long does it take for the baby budgie to break open the egg fully as it still only has its beak out and chriping still my dad said he checked them and saw it was like this since 6 pm tonight but it sounds very healthy and alive is this still all normal and fine

yes its very exciting thankyou i will keep checking them everyday day.

hi thankyou i will that will be great im just about check my budgies and the eggs ive been out all day today just got home but nothing this morning. well i just check and YES my first ever baby budgie its chirping alot for a new little one but its not fully out of the shell yet almost mum is very protective wont let dad in to see she keeps chasing him out he just wants to look i think she is going to be a very good mum when i went to have a closer look she jump onto it and wouldnt get off the other egg is due tomorrow

TODAY and every day when was the last time you lost your wallet

thankyou sooo much i was getting really worried but you guys have made me feel better thankyou i cant wait for sunday

hi my two eggs are due this sunday and monday to hatch i check her this morning and one egg looks white but the othe one looks a bit darker in colour is this okay or not thankyou

she has been sitting on them for six days today I moved it so i can check them better now but after these eggs i would love to change it so if you wouldn't mind helping ill post some pictures of the cage to get ideas how to change it for later seasons thankyou ill get some pictures on soon thankyou again

okay i got the nest box out of the cage almost lost my hen but everything is okay i checked the egg they both have veins in the eggs but one has a big air pocket and the other a small air pocket does it mean they are all good both very warm and i put the nest back in she went straight back in and sat on them wasnt happy with me but she is okay

i would love to do that but i wasnt thinking they would breed since they never have before and the nest box is in the cage with the door to the back of the cage so im just looking through the hole at her so i cant get to the door unless i move the nest box

yes she is inexperienced hen this is her first time laying but she is very protective of the two eggs she is laying on i guess i just do what you said but if i do wont she because stressed out when i take the two off her

well i was outside doing washing and i saw my hen sitting up on the top perch and i saw an egg coming out she just wiggled her tail and the egg dropped to the ground and then she flew back into her nest . so do you think she only want two eggs and no more because there is no other reason to why she keeps doing this she should have five eggs in her nest but she only has done two in there i was going to put it in her nest for her but it had a really big crack and the yolk was already coming out of the egg i just cant understand why she was fine for two and not the rest any ideas would be great

Thankyou i will do that but as for mice i dont think because its a small aviary and i have it up on a table off the ground but i still dont understand how she was able to lay two eggs in the one day sorry thankyou for all your help and ideas they have all been great
