ren the raid mortin spray with natural pirethium(spelt wrong and im sure its sinthetic even if they say its not ) work to kill them from anywhere just putting it out their

yes this it spot on my 08 cock i have for cull he has had all normal hens with paired with cinnamon hens then i put him with a lacewing and get two cinnamon cocks mainly why he goes ill sell his sons and him keep the hens also some split inos only toss out one in every 7 chicks others toss out 3 every 5 chicks its all pot luck really

im in agreement with kaz ren i know the raid indoor fly spray kits work a treat at keeping bugs at bay in the breeding room but you still must kill the cycle first even before you add that

very sorry about your dear little dog i know how much they both mean to you dave glad your breeding's off to a good start

ren does you tail less wonder have flights or not im just wondering as my cin light green does not have flights and i was thinking probbly best not to breed him after all hence him being culled but does your boy have any issues mating or chicks coming out with feather issues ???

Not quite Kaz. He would be the only pensioner I know who has a weekly cleaner ... his cleaner is probably provided by council ren i have a cleaner myself weekly at 2.50 per hour for 2 hours a week bit off subject i think everyone is harsh on their own birds anyway i have seen some beautiful birds flying in peoples sheds /flights and to them they are **** they dont even show them on that desishion of their own i show everything **** or not now as i won best op sex with one my (in my opinion crappiest hens ) id never taken her myself a club member grabbed her out flight and said take her i when mmmmmmm okay but ..... so think about all the fantastic birds flying around no one ever knows about or sees based on our own decisions of our birds ???

they look nice splat i dont often see a chick go backwards only bad ones going forward

for verification what your saying nubbly is that all the chicks from a green/yf hen will be either yf blue single factor 1 mutant or green /to blue ..meaning these chicks can not have a yf passed on to them ??? cause what i dont understand is how can you get green / yf birds if the / yf can not be passed on to the chicks that are green from a green / yf bird i know you can get a gren split yf bird from breeding a yf blue and a green bird together but is it certain that that green /yf bird can not pass on its yf to its green chicks ? and only can pass it to its blue chicks

lol the amount of times ive gotten money in a matter of days or weeks to get certain things for the kids for Christmas im sure if i put same effort of ethics into my bird money id be able to get few 1,000 birds myself you are right if you really want something you will get it

Lot 266 RB4 085 2008 Hen Spangle Violet Cobalt , Good Hen Lot 333 NSW 6560 2010 Sky Cock. Hasnt grown tail since second moult yes these two look beautiful why i wanted to know how much blood in common if any

i agree and to tell the truth some people pass up cheep birds thinking well they must be **** if their cheep why would they sell them so cheep ????? i know many a good breeder who will sell their birds for 30.00 or 50 .00 to people whom they know really want to excel however can not afford the costs that maybe they can so even the deep pocketed breeders have hearts i think if they can afford it and its what they want to do with their money then why not maybe they could do it the cheaper way however ...if its what makes them feel good go for it really although its hard to see these people just pull out hundreds for a single bird it is their dream they are for filling so bless em and i do wish em the best some of these people sell their good birds or ten of their good birds just to buy one good bird and their pockets are not as deep as it may sometimes seems all i know is that weather you pay big or pay small if your hearts in it you will achieve what you want be it one year or 20 just stick with your dream and see it slowly become a reality i know that many people take this hobby way to serious but its with all hobby's i make it more interesting for myself and less overwhelming by choosing a few certain breeders whom i hope to bench better than this gives me a gold and a balance at sticking to my own challenge as these breeders advance i to must to stay up their with them however most these breeders are now in intermediate so i need to find a new few people whom i can stay challenged with in beginner i think i may just show at shields though in future as its very hard to get to any shows as i dont drive and birds are not allowed on public transport well v lines anyhow so im sort of stuck getting to any shows but i still enjoy breeding and hope to be able to work out a way to achieve being able to get to more shows more often in future times just love what you do and who gives a hoot really as to whos got money to spend as in the end how many of these people do you really see winning at top places ???? its still just the same old same old and thees guys need no money to get birds they just exchange them so .... money know money its really whom you know i think

i know its daunting really i feel same at times bit like now but i keep reminding myself that even though my birds are less feather and smaller than most if i keep breeding for my ideal then its not impossible i got 8th at shields with my albino ..and i payed no one that's in the top ten and i did go up against some the nicest albinos ive seen i didn't think i had a hope getting to top ten but i did also with the ubc shields lacewing hen 7th i was what ....nooooooooo way ..payed no one their either so its possible to get to top if you chose your stock right and your pairings are chosen for reasons not just oh their both good as lets wak em together doesn't matter how much you pay you do need to know what to do and the best place to start it remembering whom has what stock as these people that buy these top price birds usually end up shopping them rather than selling them on if they have had succeeded with breeding them just other day i went to pet shop picked up a bird from last years auction that was brought for 380.00 i myself could never afford that but i keep my ears open i got wind that unfortunately this person had to get out of birds (not their choice ) so down i went to look for a certain cock bird i have the brother of however it was not their i spotted this hen not the best looking thing to be honest if i was to of not remembered this bird was obtained by this person as i went through my list in my head of brought and breed birds by them i would never of even given it a look at but i got the guy to catch it up read me the ring it was the same bird same number ring and breeder that was sold at auction today for 35 dollars shes flying in my flight ( well in a cage out back anyhow just a young hen also ) so its all about going to auctions watching listening and waiting as guarantee every now and then u will hear of such a bird and thats how you can improve your stud at cost price and never put a age limit on a bird unless it shows signs of being hagged out as some birds are solely moved on as people have what they wanted to achieve

Matt ,the violet hen and the sky blue boy that grows no tail back are the related through blood somewhere in the mix ???

Hun can i suggest if you struck it good and got great results with the clutch not to change the pairing so many go changing pairings around thinking if they did that imagine what these two could do only to be disappointed with the new pairings results if i get a pair that click thats it they are pairred for life the cock gets pairred out when hen is resting to new hen if he himself does not need a rest bar that they are life partners so long as at my stud

169 and 167 i love these two hens

well done with that spangle hun he is a beautiful boy

if i had half the money some these breeders do id be starting a new hobbie , id buy a rally car for sure budgies would just be a on the side passed time

yes of course they do how darft of me sorry my bad guess im just not paying attention sorry cheek patches im always sayig its in the cheek patches should listen to myself lol

i know i told her that but it did look spangle also opaline spangle

Yes, yes this is the hen Welcome to Western Australia Hen :D ba ha ha ha yes hope you enjoy your new home do you need a nice boy to join you ??

the mother looks spangle is their a better picture of her ?

Nope, not really. I don't think it is a nutritional issue. They have all got Budgie Breeder in the aviary and then soft food in the Holding Cages plus broccoli plus bottle brush. They got Soluvet early on in the drinkers as well as Calcivet and Iodine plus Moulting aid. I have ordered some Vitamin B12. But maybe it is a physical thing. I am very careful when I check eggs but I do have a lot of cocks in the nest box. I am open to suggestions. As things stand I am not checking the newly changed nests. I will wait till Saturday and then I am going to take a leaf out of John Kobilanski's book and in the nests that are showing fertile eggs only look every 5-7 days till hatching time. well my personal opinion would be the kitten litter to be honest it would suck the eggs dry of all moisture as thas what litters for so i would suggest that even though i know you will say its not that to change your box material

Thank you very much!!! all chicks also split greywing ( looks like the hens a grey wing )

hey things looking good the spangle is beautie just want to remind you hens can not be split to opaline QUOTE Pair 10: (Lutino X Opaline) Such an exciting mummy! I have 4 chicks, she is doing such a fabulous job! I will be getting cocks split ino/opaline, and all hens split opaline. Looks like I have 3 hens so far, one cock bird. They are also on another 2 fertile eggs.

marker does come off i use nail polish on the little toes works a treat if you dont want to lose a buby
