DOGGIE

Thank you for your reply Robyn. These are the only chicks. I have taken him away for a while and am about to put him back. Will the hen feed them on her own. Depends, if she is laying a second round, she could get aggressive with chicks. How old are your fledged chicks? Are they fully feeding on their own or is either parent still feeding them? If they are totally feeding themselves they may be safer in a kindy cage rather than with parents. Are you cage or colony breeding? I have had to take the Cock bird away again. I may have to try to hand deed the chicks. I have the mixture , just have to get them to take it.Chicks are just starting to feed themselves.i AM CAGE BREEDING.

I have two cinamon wing just out of the breeding box and the male is attacking them. He has been okay up until now. He is jumping on one of their backs as if he is trying to breed with it. Have I got a pedofile and do I take him away. He doesnt seem to be attacking them with his beak . Help please.

Thanks Amy. If you can find out the name of the books it would be great.

Hi everyone I am new to the site and do a bit of backyard breeding from my balcony. I currently have two Cinamon Wing mated with two babies four days old in the nest. I would like to thank KAZ FOR THAT WONDERFUL ARTICLE on Care of Baby Budgies in the nest 7/11/07. I was looking throught Google for a book on that subject and now thanks to KAZ I have all the knowlege I need. Will I get Cinamon wing birds with the ones in the nest. Can someone recomment a book on genetics at a reasonable price. I live in Sydney Australia.
