If you look up at the top left breeding cage you'll see the nest box mounted outside on the front. I'll take another shot when I get the pairs set up.

Update..... I have finished the next phase. I have built the storage cuboard for under the breeding boxes and have it in the breeding part of the aviary. I moved the breeding boxes in and you should have seen the responce. The other came down to see the breeders. The breeders got excited... Hope this all means Eggs.. Outside view. Looking inside. The nest boxes have been place in one of the storage area. I am going to built another 3 single breeding cages to match and put them where the nest boxes are in the picture. This is looking across from the boxes. Jazz, Bob and Chime. All the pairs failed there first setting. I have given them the week off and will reset on Saturday for the next try. What do you think?

Yes and a Double Factor Spangle has an Iris Ring.

The two are different verieties. Double Factor Spangle and Dark Eyed Clears.

Here is some information those game enough to use a Crop Needle Product Information - Crop Needle

Una you had me worried until I found ut bert was a blue tongue. I thought you might have a goanna in there.

I perfer to leave the grate in. It is healthier for them.

Reminds me of something out of the Power Puff Girls........ My daughter watches it. : Love the name. It's starting to really look great.

Here is a skyblue spangle. Normal wing feathers have the black markings inside the shape of the feather where by the spangle have it on the outside edge of the feather. A double factor spangle looks like an albino except with black eyes.

Well I am a big user of Vetafarm so I can't say thats the problem. Have you got the mix consistency correct?

Glass will do. The hen doesn't want to be in a postion where she can get hurt. An open nest is not safe from preditors. But she will try to keep her chicks fed. So the thought is that she only goes in the box when she has to, to feed her chicks. Then she gets scared and leaves. Some breeds hang a peice of thick string from the top of the box. Same thing. Here is some other ideas. Feather Plucking

No problems with tonight's storm Nerwen?

They are throwing up....Why? I don't know. What was in the mix?

If your cock is a lutino you should get green cocks split to lutino split to recessed pied and the hens should be Lutino split to recessed pied.

Shell Get some clear perspex and replace the nest box lid with it. THe hen should still enter to feed the chicks but will not hang around to pluck them. Give it a go?

Galvinised but wash it down with vinagur and water. 1 part vinagur to 4 parts water. Give it a good scrubbing and then wash it off. I then give it a coat of non toxic paint to seal it.

Some long weekends coming Nerwen. Next week is 4 days, then 4 days, then 4 days, then 4 days... We have Easter, Anzac day and then May day. Plenty of time to do the aviary

Just keep in touch with your vet over the next week or two until you have him in a good routine. Medication will help but you will have to get the dose right for him. This is where your vet will help. Good luck and let us know how you go

I am sorry that I was late with the advice. Odds are that she wont feed the next one. So I would prepare. The next one is due Tonight or Tomorrow morning.

If the photo is right. Nerwen is right Wyllie is a golden face. If you mate them you should expect. Golden Faces.

Ah time will tell.

Squeaker - boy Echo - boy Berry - not sure but with the photo think boy. Reepicheep - not sure but with the photo think boy. Opaline Scuttle - i thnk boy as well. The flash is a problem with some shots....my colour blindness doesn't help either.

I know a way Karen... I can hope in my car and drop around ..... joking at the moment, but I love your birds...got to get some love formular for lisa, bob and jazz three week in the hotel and no eggs...

love the idea. i'll try it with my crew.

godsdrummer209 how old is the female? If she is not 12 months of age I wouldn't try to mate her. Hens go through cycles for breeding if she is not in the right part of the cycle she will not breed. If she is new, you should have her in quarantine before introducing her to your birds. She maybe carrying a disease?
