will do thanks once again Kaz

okay i'll put them together tommorrow,poor Charlie boy just isn't interested in anyone but her but maybe without her hanging around in the avairy me might start showing so interest in the other girls. Thanks Kaz

Really?, but i love my Charlie boy and i'm not 100% sure on how old Bruce is. Can i ask why you think Bruce is the better choice.

You have some nice full crops there Robyn they must be good parents,goodluck with the rest hatching hope all goes well.

Charlie the intended is in condition he recently moulted,and has been seen chating up the avairy so maybe i'll try again and see what happens.

I was busily doing the dishes today and i happen to glance in the direction of the avairy and saw two of the budgies mating,now i've never seen any of the budgies mating out there before so out i went to see who it was.And much to my dismay it was my very first hen i bought in the flock mating not with her intended boyfriend but a ring-in this is her and her intended and this is the ring-in now i don't think they were very succesful and i don't won't these two to breed but i have previously tried breeding her to her intended,but she has never shown any interest before do you think if i tried pairing them up again i might have success this time now that i've caught her in the act?

How pretty are they. Congratulations on the win

O.k photo's as promised chick day 1 chick day two has food in it's crop and so cute

It's really cute Ratzy i've only looked a couple of times so unsure if it's been feed yet but i'll check again tonight. Luckily the egg shell was wrapped around an infertile egg it almost had a vaccum seal it was wedged on that tight.

Thanks guy's will do.

Hi Everyone, I've had my first ever pinky hatch this morning :bliss: but the shell has wrapped around another egg,I remember reading somewhere Kaz saying to remove it from the other egg, but not sure how to do it. Can i use a pair of tweezers and carefully flick it off?

Great thread GB love the chicks,mine will hopefully start to hatch on friday so i can't wait to witness the development of them on a daily basis.

BOOF

Close but no cigar...... I think Jimmy Banks

:rofl: Colin there are lots of knowledgeable people on this forum hope you find them as helpful as i do.

Hi Dave, just wondering how things were going with Monster and the other chicks?

Congratulations Patrick these two Hens are beautiful can't wait to see how the chicks feather up.

You have some beautiful birds Kaz i look at your photo's and say to myself i'll have that one and that one and that one................. Hope Calley has a wonderful long life with littlebudgie.

No me again,i tell you more people need to play this game to make it interesting i say Houman

Wrong i think GB cause we sucked her in

I think GB

I tried to buy the little light the Liv has for candelling and my hardware store sold out,(should of bought it when i saw them before christmas) so i bought one that looks like a miniture torch with 7 little l.e.d lights and i think it's to bright.Will try to find something more appropriate tomorrow.

Thanks Kaz and Ratzy, I think the three are inferile as she laid her last egg on the 28th and as it's her first clutch maybe not such a bad thing.

Ah Ratzy,there so cute,I love Lexi she's a real cutie.

Hi just took a photo of my budgies eggs and just need it confirmed that 3 are fertile, as you can see from the photo i think she has lined them up with fertile one's in front and infertile behind.
