June 6, 200619 yr Author okay, thanks! So, id get violet pieds, mauve pieds, cobalt pieds, and green pieds is what your saying? YAYAYAY!!! Kirby
June 7, 200619 yr You won't get any greens as you only have white based budgies. All of your babies will be pied though.
June 9, 200619 yr Author UPDATE: 6 BIG EGGS!!!!!!! 1st baby should hatch around the 15th of July! I hope at least one does this time! The eggs are bigger than her other infertile ones, and seem to have colour Kirby
June 10, 200619 yr Author Will doo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shes been on them non stop for this whole time! (Laughing out loud) Such a good soon to be hopefully mother I am kinda scared though. Becuase you know how most hens discard any infertile eggs. I kept her last eggs, and put two of them in the nest. Shes incubating them! There are hole in them, and they have been out of any heat source for over a month! Shes till incubating them That stinks! Unlike most hens who discard any infertile eggs, shes still trying to hatch them! So, these could all be infertile for all i know?!?! Like her past two clutches..Mind you, they never mated before, and this time they did, sooo Kirby
June 10, 200619 yr Don't worry about it. If she is a first time mum, she probably won't have much of a clue. Wait it out.
June 10, 200619 yr Author (Laughing out loud), okay thanks! Here are new pics of my flock, and Ariels + eggs. Chicos yellow pied (hes daddy) http://s38.photobucket.com/albums/e104/pet...cal&media=image Kirby
July 11, 200618 yr excuse me for asking but you know what I didn't see what happened? I assume they didn't hatch? I didn't see a follow-up . Let us know
July 11, 200618 yr Author :wub: I bet you can tell now They were infertile again :'( I still know it was becuase of Chico... doesnt mate properly, but i am putting them together LAST time in August as both are moulting now Chico has gotten SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH better at balancing that time around compared to other times... so im VERY confident this time. Im ALSO setting up Kirby and Belle at the same time, which i know they will at least have babies for me, as when Belle was just 7 months old i saw them first mating. Luckily they werent sucessfull... He also lost balance everytime, so now that they are old enough, when i supply nest box, ill get babies for sure! Im more than 300% confident! That way, you guys can see at least one clutch of babies from me, if not two *if Chico learns how to mate soon enough* (Laughing out loud) Kirby
July 11, 200618 yr (Laughing out loud) poor Chico, I was just thinking what happened to Kirby's babies and though I better ask, I figured but better ask then be wrong
July 11, 200618 yr Kirby, my hen never discarded infertile eggs. She took care of the hatched budgies, and sat on the infertiles until I took them away. I think most hens will sit on them for a good while before they give up, infertile or not. Where did you hear hens will discard infertile eggs? Hello Pass... what brings you back?
