hath

imwith every one else the eggs are secondry to the eggs take her to a vet

go here site then price list i think http://www.budgerigarsociety.com/

give the egg a couple of more days incase she started to sit late i normally check 4 days from the second egg but it could be either infertile or died straight away if she didnt sit properly

glad it worked just keep an eye for it happening again in the next couple of days :beer:

it wont bleed a lot if at all and the air should come out

red mites are easy to find look in dark places in your aviary under seed pots where perchs meet the wall and you will see the little devils running around

hi dawn this sounds like he has air in the crop its not uncommon it happens when the hen feeds the chick air instead of food there are a couple of reasons a maiden hen or a hen who isnt feeding enough 1. take the chick and gently massage the air towards the beak and expell as much as possible you might have to do this a few times if this is doesnt work gently **** the birds crop with a needle and release the air that way but make sure the needle is steralized the hole will heal itself

thats quite a lot i would try the spray if you can find it

over here there is a spray to put on the chicks to stop the hen from plucking and its supposed to be very effective i just cat remember the name also i have heard some of the lads in my club who use the clear liquid to stop you from biting there nails and say it works although i havnt used it,as for the dad im not sure i havnt really taken the hen away that early apart from when one has died and the father didnt raise them

they have started to stock pile the vaccines and health care workers will be one of the first in line for it that great that means another injection

i have the original cards from the bs worth having

you could but if her eggs are fertile and these are that will be a lot of chicks normally i dont foster the eggs if its been more than 8 to 12 hours as they dont tend to hatch

dont know if you can see these but have a look http://www.sunderlandbudgerigarsociety.co....20standards.htm

this has been on the news a lot latley in the uk its now in russia and the experts say will without doubt end up in europe the dutch are allready telling farmers to keep there birds indoors even free range now just a little reminder to people in the uk that a lot of pet budgies come from belgium and holland and although it is not there yet please be carefull if you purchase a bird from a pet shop although we will not be able to stop it due to wild birds bringing it in also another thought people will need to be prepared with outside flights im not trying to be an alarmist here but as the main treatment appears to be to kill the birds in an effected area i dont know what it might mean to people with outside flights

there is a small chance they wont be rejected but i do mean small,if they had been in the small breeding cage to start with you might have stood a better chance

sure sighns of egg binding a hen that is in the nest box or on the floor of the cage in great distress,shortness of breath swollen vent and dilated pupils and unfortunatly death normally occurs in 24 hours if assistants not given it all depends on how long she hasnt sat on them and if they have gotten chilled if she is not sitting on them there is very little you can do to make her

not when i have removed the female but i have had when the female died and the chicks were younger than three weeks

you have a couple of choices 1.let her lay then take the eggs away 2. remove the hen when the chicks are about three weeks old the cock bird should feed them 3. as number two but remove the cock bird

leave them put food up there when they are approx 3 to 4 weeks put soaked millet up there so the chicks can start to feed then as soon as they start on that bring them all down

if its her second round leave her she will be fine just make sure she is fed high quality food its the raising of chicks that takes it toll on on birds just remove the boxs next time

real nice site :beer:

no problem i would just clean it out now but if you breed again put the shavings back in when she puts them out she will give in first

hi dawn if the box is really messy clean it out now i have wood shavings in mine and i just take of the top bit, as for the chick 20 mins should be fine but it depends on the hen and how upset she gets but as she was fine with 20 mins i would stick with that

warm water and a cloth is the best way just take your time and do a little at a time

go to a good shop and check the labels very few are water based they work better than pencils
