Hi and Welcome

WOW!! What a lovely surprise that must have been to see that the eggs were fertile When the babies feather up, will you know who the father is?

Too cute I love the last one. Olive recessive pied?

Thank you Finnie

Thank you GB. I have had a lot of DIS and 7 that died pipping because they got stuck in the hard shell Thanks for the advice, I have been putting a few drops of water on the eggs due to hatch and when I checked the nest boxes yesterday morning two little pinkies had hatched, I was so happy I could have cried. Pair #1- 5 eggs laid, 3 fertile due to hatch shortly Pair #2- 6 eggs, 4 fertile so far Pair #3- 7 eggs, 3 fertile so far Pair #4- 5 eggs, 2 punctured(removed), none showing fertile yet.

It's such a shame they don't live long because he is a sweetie. Very interesting about the double tail.

Thank you Splat. There's a few fertile ones there due to hatch at the end of the week. I am really hoping they do hatch because I'm having DIS and hard shell issues at the moment.

Thanks Maddy, I'm looking forward to seeing babies too. I'm not entirely sure on the statistics of double yolkers surviving to hatch but it is possible to have twins from one egg.

So sorry SL26 :sadsorry:

I'm very sorry for the loss of Rosie and I hope Bessie makes a full recovery.

Congratulations Kaz and Ken

That's very sad and sorry for your loss Kaz

I have to go my twin nephews 8th birthday party

Wow, they look great

Good to hear you have lots of healthy pinkies S_C How's pair #3 going, I love your YF cock.

Hi Erin and welcome to the BBC. Budgie breeding, what a wonderful lesson for the children.

I wish I could go, I've never been to a budgie auction.

I really don't know what to say Dean, other than sorry If I had of experienced all your bad luck (my 1st breeding season) I surely would have thrown in the towel. You have a wealth of knowledge and experience on your side and I really hope you continue with your birds.

Aww Sunnie, they are so beautiful

I'm impressed, looks great

I'm loving the new look BBC Quick update: Pair #1- 5 eggs minus 1, 2 fertile so far. The big egg that was laid first was infertile. This is what was inside. What do you think? Pair #2- 3 eggs Pair #3- 3 eggs Pair #4- 2 eggs minus 1 broken (punctured*spelling*)

Aww, Elsa is very cute

Thank you RIP and Nerwen Yes, her feet were like that when I got her. I'm really hoping its not genetic.

I have a bird with three toes forward, both feet and I am curious to know if this is an inherited fault or a deformity caused by something else. I can't seem to find any information about it. Cheers
