Nestfeather is a baby budgie, out of the nest and old enough to crack seed and perch but not having gone through its first moult. Thanks Kaz !

Cool Daz.....any pictures? What's a nestfeather?

Well...out of 6 eggs we have 1 baby....it now is white down with what seems to be greyish feathers coming through....did I read somewhere that white down means an opaline? Will get a picture as soon as I can.....

Checked this afternoon and it's been eaten....

1 egg today..... :fingerscrossed:

Hi Robyn, I have been following this thread, but as I'm still learning was no help with your questions.....but I would like to say thanks for posting this as it's become a very educational thread for me......will keep reading and hope they all recover.. Anne

Best of luck

The egg looks too dark which indicates a dead in shell chick. At least you have one fat baby Thank you Kaz, I thought so from another recent forum post on "egg colors"....should I dispose of it or wait till she tosses it out? In total she laid 6 eggs and a few seemed to be this colour...what would have caused them to die? When I changed the bedding yesterday, the egg was quite warm.....I think this is her first clutch.. Thanks in advance

She tossed out another egg today....still 1 chick and 1 egg left......don't think it will hatch, but at least I have 1 beautiful baby....

So sorry for your losses Ross.....It must have been horrible for you... Keep us updated with the mum and chicks progress.

Thanks for spending the time to explain that Nubbly.... Good luck with your clearwings...I look forward to the progress...

Sweet as...... This one looks as if he's saying....."when I get 1 I'm going to be a model.....this is my good side!"

Love it!! :hurryup: Now back to business....more pictures !! :hurryup:

Outstanding!!!! you should be very proud of yourself......

Sorry for the questions Nubbly, but if the recessives and clearwings dec's etc...are genetically smaller.. then why do they have to be bigger to show them? Why is the show standard different to what they are naturally? Hope that makes sence.......

That's sooo cute....

HI Dean_NZ, I know when I had a "small crack" in one of my eggs a little while ago I was told liquid paper, but was also advised it had to be done straight away.....

So I guess thats why my DEC cock is small compared to other varieties......Good luck Nubbly, look forward to your progress....

M6B....When I took the picture, no there wasn't, I have since put in some of that recycled paper kitty litter (Dr Harry brand), I have read on here about the oat's , if that's good I will get some tomorrow. Update.....she tossed out another egg today... , So still only 1 baby and now only 2 other eggs, one is very light.......

Sorry if a dumb question....but why are they smaller Nubbly5?, compared to the other varieties?

Thanks C_S_B I still have 1 baby....I checked it out this afternoon and it's going really well....2 of the other eggs are very light so I'd say they are empty, the other one is much heavier so I guess it's a waiting game...

All very pretty Elsa....LOVE the TCB !!

Hi Kaz, No, I didn't move anything.....when I was here yesterday about 8pm, there was a photobucket box where the pictures should have been saying..."photobucket are upgrading, photo's will be back soon"? They seem to be back now....

Don't worry DrNat, I will ensure she has a good break, won't do anything with her till next year.. The other pair have been named "Romeo and Juliet" by my daughter, as they won't leave each other alone !! Thanks again....

Hi Captain Heff...
