JQ.

I have just paired these two up. She has begun laying eggs after only being in the cabinet for a day! Hopefully he had time to do the job! What can I expect out of these two?

Thanks for tip, I hadn't thought of that!

They show a bit of interest every now and then, but not very often

THANKS FOR THAT. GREAT EXPLANATION! THANKS, WILL CHECK IT OUT

I understand the grey green and the dominant pied, but which of his markings relate to opaline and spangle?

ANY HELP WITH WHAT THIS COCK IS? ANYBODY EXPLAINING HIS MARKINGS TO ME WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. I AM ONLY NEW TO BUDGIES!

Kaz do you agree with anne101 on what the cock in the pictures is?

No it was a piece of carrot that they had taken into the box! :sad:

Really? I have never removed a shell egg. Mum's often eat the egg, as it increases their calcium. Little ones may chew at the egg. I know I have never heard of it catching on other eggs, and I have never ever removed one.Yes really.....................the egg shells wrap around other eggs, are hard to see and prevent the egg hatching. If not eaten in the first half day remove is the best option. Chick has plum eyes, and that indicates a cinnamon chick in most cases. What are the parents ? The cock is cinnamon and the hen is similar to the cock in the first picture. Except it isnt pied, it has a grey green body. Sorry still learning my colours and mutations

OUR FIRST EVER EGG HATCHED TODAY ONE OF OUR BIRDS. ANY HELP WITH WHAT HE IS MUCH APPRECIATED
