When a hens cere is crusty and brown she may just be past that point of breeding condition and on her way down in condition especially if the brown is flaking off. Its when it a light brownish tan that she is going into condition that is a better time to put her down to breed. PS Good to have you here Thanks i will watch her and if that is the case i will be visiting the so called breeder, sometimes i think if they can trick you they will and obviously i am an easy target.. thanks again and it is nice to be on here and thanks for all your help

How cute children are just wonderful,, My eldest daughter is 7 and she is actually the main reaon i started all of this 2 years ago we had a budgie named "DORA" and she was just gorjuz she was all Yellow, pure she only had little white tuffs of feathers on her cheeks and breanna picked her out of about 100 budgies. Sadly she died still to this day not sure why and my daughter was heartbroken.. and ever since then has wanted another one. We have never been able to find one even similar to the colour of dora she was one in a million i just cant explain her beauty. So eventually i caved and went out and set up for more with the intentions of breeding and she is very excited and very gentle so she will be a great help.. My youngest daughter is 3 and she just loves them standing at the avairy just amazed as she was only little when we had dora, So i am hoping this will be a great experience for all of us and i think it is very educating as well..

They are all definatly in the age bracket and both of the hens cere in particular one is crusty which i was lead to beleive means they are ready for mating one of the males is darker than the other but i do beleive that the lighter one is younger as he is quite smaller BUT i did follow your link and did find the breeding information quite interesting i do have more than one avairy so i might seperate them and see how i go i did not realise the full extent of some complications of colony breeding and i do have plenty of room so that is not an issue thanks again for your help and i am very excited to learn and experience breeding. i am 100% commited and and cannot wait to learn more it is all so interesting and thanks to people like you it just makes it a whole lot more interesting and easier thankyou

Hi thank you for taking the time to read my post I am new to the breeding scene and was hoping to have a little help. I have recently set myself up to breed budgies i have bought to males and 2 females from a well known breeder in town and he assured me that they are not related and they are very healthy.. I have put them in my avairy that has 2 seperate nesting boxes so the hens hopefully will take one without fighting over them.. so i was just wanting to know the signs of them being interested in each other because at the moment the 2 hens are happy doing there own thing and the males seem to be more into each other they do not look like they are fighting they seem to be flirting I suppose i am trying to say is that they do not seem interested at all in each other so i am not sure what to do next. i was really hoping to have one lot of babys before the cold weather my 2 daughters are very excited and cannot wait.. Any help and helpful hints will be much appreciated thank you in advance Nic ♥
