hath

if she was egg bound this long its almost certain she would have died i think lady could be rite rupture or prolapse

ensure you have something for the chicks to hide in if the parents start to attack i normally remove my chicks about ten days after they leave the nest as long as i am happy they are feeding themselves leaving them a little longer wont harm them just keep an eye on the parents if they decide to breed again straight away

one i will recomend is johnstons anti mite spray but only works if you disinfect the cage as well

rite do you plug them in ? i know some of the big breeders in this country have a sort of misting machine that you add f 10 to but i have never seen this which is good by the sounds of it

eterri can you explain why please i dont think we get it in this country but other people might like to know why

just downloaded it and it looks perfect ie easy to use and keeps the right info ive been using bird tracker way to complicated just to keep a track on breeding pairs and which birds are related have a look http://www.cabinsoftware.biz/DescriptionScreens.htm

18 days but the first could possibly take 20 as sometimes the hen will not start to incubate till the second egg id laid i dont touch the eggs at all with my hands this is so i dont pass any germs ect on to the egg but i do check the nest box twice a day this is to ensure the hens good health not the eggs i start to touch the chicks around 6 to 10 days this is to ring them and then i leave them alone touching them when i clean the nest out and cleaning their legs i start to hold them around 3 weeks

im with pass only one i had trouble with was no 4

something that doesnt go into thin strands when chewed so they dont catch feet or beaks

not all hens ceres will turn brown

nestbox should be cleaned every 2 or 3 days be very very carefull when pulling the poop of the feet you can pull claws of very easily use a damp cloth first to make it very soft

which mutations ? i wsnt knocking the persons point as i am not going down the wing clipping road i just pointed out that that fact was wrong

you do not cross breed to get a blue budgie they are a natural ocuring mutation the same as spangles nobody set out to breed them they just happened and you do get different mutations in the wild they just stick out more and this makes them easier for predators

if i remember photobucket has a resize button which makes smaller

what was the illness

Image pixel dimensions not to exceed 450x450 pixels! please resize your pics or they will be removed thanks

didnt pick up on that if its inside her how do you know the colour

as it is a yellow mass it sounds like a prolapse you can push it back but i would strongly recomend a vet (just in case it isnt)

i think a lot of pet birds moult all the time because the conditions dont change ie temp food water light

shes just out of breeding condition no worries

with show birds in the uk you start to breed in the winter i like to keep the temp around 5 to 10 degrees the light is to give them 12 hours of light to help bring them into condition so yes i do need the fancy lighting and heat but if you have a outside avairy for pet birds then no i keep some at my dads and they have no light or heat but they dont breed

thats what i think

use shavings not dust i i was once away on escort and my wife bought sawdust by mistake i lost about 14 chicks

you do not put pet shop products in the water for scaly face they do work but the downside is the treatment has to be repeated so stresses the bird evan more the best cure is ivomectin as this is only given once,i doubt this is scaly face though as you say its a fungus scaly face looks normally like a coral or sponge so i would definatly take to a vet if it is fungus

probably but not definatly
