try sprouted mung beans

i've pinned this but please remember not to name shops on here unless you have evidence ie a conviction unfortunately your opinion is not evidence (although your opinion could be spot on i am sure adam doesn't need some high flying lawyers coming after us and as each moderator could be sued in there country ie rainbow in the usa and nerwen in australia and myself in the uk)

daz i have 16 now all from the same breeder these are my breeding stock so wont show these but any chicks that are good enough to show i will although this could take a couple of years (probably longer) to get to the standard my birds were at

they have all dropped into a moult as planned now i have to start planning to bring them into condition at the right time

they look good to me

yea but if you think what else these boffins have very scary

with out a doubt sooner than later i see some boffin in the usa has grown the last flu strain to kill millions spanish flu to try and understand the virus

still dont know if its the h5n1 virus we find out on wednesday after the test are done

PyscoFalcon you are a angel a star thanks this is what i have been looking for

18 c = 64.4 my breeding season is in winter and my heating comes on at 10 c so 18 is fine

i dont think she keeps budgies anymore this web site has been around for years never changed but it is a good one

how about something like the first picture im in the market for 16 and if anybody knows of a place for nest boxs let me know breeding season starts for me in about 7 weeks

wow postage was a ?100 more than the 16 cages total

thanks just emailed them to see how much shipping would be for 16 cages to the uk

thanks bill would be very interested in your results

bill have you been succesful with budgie eggs i only ask because we had a talk from someone who had tryed budgie eggs and was not succesfull at all in fact zero eggs hatched and this person had used incubators all her life as she was a fowl breeder

lots of people still use the second method its just not for me i like the ease of outside boxs plus it gives the birds the whole cage

all my nest boxs are on the outside of the cages for easy access which doesnt help you you could do it two ways the first is the way i would do it and that is to cut a couple of the bars so that i could attach them on the out side no good for you as you use them all the time the second is to use a nest box on legs this does two jobs one ovious is a nest box second the chicks can get under when they leave the nest box for protection you would then physically bring the nest box to the door of the cage and have a side door in the nest box so you could open it and check that way not ideal in my eyes as to much disturbance to the hen

no a very good question i like the ones you have so all the birds can see each other as for natural perchs my biggest concern would be securing them so they didnt put the birds off enough but being able to replace them with ease if needed without disturbing the birds (if that mekes sence)

bill is this for budgie eggs or mainly fowl

there is nothing wrong with those cages eterri there the ones i wanted if you remember there is no reason for not putting in varied perching as long as it secure a lot of clear eggs are laid due to the perches moving as for toys i haven't put toys as such in but have tryed things for them to chew ect and they don't seem bothered when in the breeding cages yet in the flights they will also you do not want to be desturbing the hens when you clean and feed them so you dont want to much clutter in the way

looks and sounds plucked to me as well try and put some millet and or some soft wood for the hen to chew to try and make her stop this can turn quite nasty and the bird could die you can also buy in the uk some liquid from the shops that you apply and it is supposed to stop the offending bird from doing it normally the hen

have you got a web site ?

i think this is the type your right the pictures are very poor
