Posted October 2, 200618 yr Skye just laid an egg about an hour ago! one minute i looked in...did some chores, came back and there it was! She was sitting there looking at it like, what the heck was that?! (Laughing out loud)...It is sooooooo cute..it's a perfect little thing Even my brother is really excited now..(Laughing out loud). Here's a few pics... The first one i took this morning when I thought her vent looked swollen but I wasn't sure....I was just taking pics of them and she just so happened to turn her bum towards the camera...(Laughing out loud) Alora :budgiedance:
October 2, 200618 yr Thanks! ohhh I can't wait till I can find out if they're fertile or not...how many days after being laid can you check to see if they're fertile? isn't it like a week or so? It's cute...Skye hasn't left the nestbox and she's sitting on it...I thought they didn't do that till the 2nd or third egg? :budgiedance: myeh...doesn't bother me as long as she's a good mum Alora Edited October 2, 200618 yr by Alora
October 2, 200618 yr Congratulations!! It is such an exciting time! And aren't the budgie eggs just the most adorable little things, I was amazed they were so tiny when I got my first ones a month or so ago.
October 2, 200618 yr oh gosh yes they're so small!!! It's amazing a little bird can come out of that!! I remember when I watched our finches eggs hatch it was the most amazing thing! unfortunately they started hatching when we were about to go out somewhere and I was too young to stay home and watch them...I was SOOOOOOOO mad...I got to watch two hatch then we left...I remember that was the clutch that Jenny (the mom) laid 14 eggs! The dad, Beep, was just going totally crazy...excited that he was a daddy...too cute..They were little zebra finches...it's funny when you start beeping to them they really get a-goin'...(Laughing out loud) only 9 hatched but It was still crazy...Fortunately we didn't have to let the eggs go to waste...I had been keeping a garter snake as a pet for a while and fed the unfertile eggs to it...It enjoyed them... (Laughing out loud) Alora
October 3, 200618 yr 2nd egg is due today Her vent is really swollen so it could be anytime now Alora
October 7, 200618 yr I really hope they hatch too! I candled one the first egg today and I saw little red lines...Unless I'm wrong, #1 egg is fertile! :hap: check the other one on sunday or so....Skye laid a third egg today...I had JUST missed her laying it because when i checked it was still wet :hap: and she was panting and airing herself out by lifting her wings...i just LOVE when they lift their wings like that...it's so adorable :hap: Alora
October 8, 200618 yr WAHOO!!! egg #2 is fertile too! =) I saw a little kidney shaped thing on one of the sides...it was cool I'll candle #1 again next week to see how much it has grown since Friday Alora
October 12, 200618 yr UPDATE! Skye laid a fourth egg and it doesn't look like there's any more comings so she's sitting at four eggs...1,2 and 3 are all fertile and I have yet to check #4 to see if it's fertile...I got to see #1 moving around inside the egg...ONE WEEK TO GO!!!!! until #1 hatches..so excited! Since theres only four it shouldn't be a problem for the parents...that's one easy clutch..(Laughing out loud) Alora
October 18, 200618 yr I am just so totally excited! (Laughing out loud) The first egg should hatch on thursday...I just candled it again and I cant see anything in it...it's darker than it was before...Is that the chick inside getting so big it's blocking the light from the flashlight?
October 18, 200618 yr WOW Alora I can't believe your first is hatching already!!! It was just the other day when you posted about the egg!! Â Three bubs is a great first time I will have my fingers crossed for you and hope to see a 'bub is here' post soon.
October 18, 200618 yr It came up on me so fast! :fear I went to clean the pair's cage today and I heard cheeping inside the shell...it's so cute!!!!!
