NOWBUDGIE

Hi, I have posted a similar question, only this pair this my only one BABY for the season. The mother is mating again and I can her her attacking the baby its moving about and screaming....... I am going to take her out and seperate her asap..... got advised to put baby on the floor in a container and dad will look after it.... Could I leave it the nest at all??? or may the father not go in there??? as Its still very young. ANd do I need to move the mother far away????

Thanks guys...getting it now...the cock TCB is split for ino, forgot to mention....... so this means I could get ino + TCB hens out of this pairing????

I'm not the brightest bulb on the xmas tree when it comes to genetics etc...will get there one day.... Just wanted to know if I will get any TCB babies with this pairing....... COCK = grey TCB + HEN = Opaline cin pied green/yellow split blue (my best hen) if so what colour or other possible's...I know cant be 100% but a rough guess Cheers!!!!!

right

Thanks Squeak_crumble for you advise...I did know breeders put their studs through alot of hens, but I didnt plan to do that.....Not really wanting to leave the hen on her own to sit and raise chicks.... Would like top get another male in to help......is that possible???? Cheers

hey how are Peeps...... I have a weird sitaution nothing too different for me LOL......... I have a hen who is down breeding and the cock...well wouldnt mate with her he seems in condition......So I was watching and saw her wanting to mate, I grabbed another paired cock and within minutes they were going for it non stop... My question is I want the cock that was paired to another hen to go back to her and not stay with the one I put him with to mate.....Just wondering if I could take him out soon and put him back and bring the other non mating one back to help raise the chicks.... And if so when should I move him back I know this is a not very common thing>>>> LOL

I just got my new pair gonna start with albino's....... Hen is from winning Albino blood line and cock is texas clear body split albino Hoping to get good young from them......lets see!!!!

WOW awesome chicks love the colours the dilutes......

One of my pair's have clear eggs when I candled them, other pairs are showing fertile that have laid after this couple.... Question: Do you take the eggs away straight away or leave them till rough due date..??? Should I give her a break or let her lay again...she is with my best cock also.... cheers

LOL.... I'm confused on what a voilet green looks like, I saw a picture when I googled it and it looked similar....must be wrong picture on the site I saw, thats why I questioned it!!! Didn't know there was a voilet green mutation........Anyone got a link to what one looks like???

I just got this new 07 hen...just wondering on her mutation, it's not grey green right?? She has cinnamon wings also!!! Also should I pair her with a cobalt cock when the time comes...or any other suggestions!!!

I went and left an hour into the auction....didn't get anything though the bird I wanted went for little more than I could pay at this stage.... the highest I saw sold was $550 for 08 Cinnamon grey Cock (scoble bird)....not sure on cheapest!!! There were alot of nothing to special birds there....my thoughts anyway!!!

Sorry meant the full black wing one behind....closer to the wall!!!!! Parents of all but one....are green/yellow dominate pied cock and White/grey Rec pied Hen Cinnamon wing one...parents blue opaline/spangle pied Cock and cinnamon yellow/green opaline pied Hen........

How much do budgies go for at this auction roughly..... Saw theres no reserve price on them!!!

Some pet type babies here and I from Show parents>>>> Not the best shots!!!!!!! Bit confused on mutation of the black wing one>>>> Below: http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/d.../Picture019.jpg http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/d...icture017-1.jpg http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/d...icture011-1.jpg http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/d.../Picture009.jpg http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq127/d...icture010-1.jpg

Back to this topic!!!! Well She stopped laying at 4 eggs....It's been over a week the hen is only incubating the eggs during the day and at night sleeps OUTSIDE!!!! Is this a bad hen????

okay thanks KAz!!!!!!!!

I have a pair with 6 chicks......ranging age from almost 5 weeks to 3 weeks Old. About 4 are out of the nest but wonder back in the nest. One chick mostly is being attacked by the parents, it's the 3rd eldest one.... I saw the parents mating AGAIN, with 2 chicks in nest not fully feathered, they have done this before and still look after the chicks in the nest...... My concern is the ones outside!! Should I remove them already some are still being fed by dad....I see others eating, looks like they may also be playing with the seed and not eating......or do I leave them... I will discard the eggs when or if she lays also......this was a big clutch for them!! Though they look in health!!!

Just wanted to know if it's safe to feed bean sprouts to budgies>>>>> Can't find it anywhere

WOW............loving your birds!!!!

Thanks, i have done what mackas said....its better in there!! robyn I think it is chipboard....Will that damp stay now???? Should I throw out the nest box once there raised??? there is black mildew on top!! GB I am giving calcium...Have the shell grit, calivet and just out of the bell, gotta get some tomorrow as they killed through the last one they had!!! Will never water down boxes again>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> YOU LIVE AND YOU LEARN AYE!!!

Thanks Splat!!! I have drilled the holes on top, and will cut down on vegs etc....thought I was doing a world of good>>>>>> Cheers

Thanks guys for that........I have been feeding them HIPES of wet food everyday.......egg and biscuit....alot of fruit and vegs everyday....spinach, bok choy, dandelion, corn, apples, carrots, i full the cage with large portons!!! IS that too much??? Should I cut back>MMmmmmmmmmJust bit anxious that they have 6 chicks to feed thats all.....have no fosters!!!The parents seem in good condition, I have been watching em closely!!!!CHEERSAlso might change the nest all together....... is that safe....because I sprayed the outside of the nest with water when it was really hot days here, several times to cool them down or TRY too...lol and can see mositure inside....black spots on the side and top>>>>>Wonder if that was the reason...........

Hi, Just wanted to know what I can put on the bottom of my nest box to help with moisture, I have 6 chicks in that nest (alot) and I clean it out every other day.....Its really moist in there...Like wet!! It's a big mess soon after I clean it like someone has poured water in there?????? I was thinking to put down...turkey starter crumble???? I have never put oats down...will that work....

Thanks guys..... I never knew that!!! All mine in the past stay on them from day one!! Kool!!!!!!!!
