its so cute.

You think? I think it's the ugliest thing ever. But still cute in the "newborn" way I guess, heehee.

Congratulations Michelle !! :hap:

congrats

Thank you!

Oh, that is fantastic, Michelle

 

I know it's pretty early, but have you thought of a name?

 

 

Thanks,

Rob

it's pretty early, so nope. I'm not even sure that's the one I'll be keeping (though that being the first one I feel it is special...). I'll wait and select the one I want when they'll be older. The others will not stay, so I won't name them.

 

...But well, its unofficial name is "Coco". My mother decided that she was calling it that way. But I think that's ugly.

CONGRATS!!!!! I am so happy for you. The first hatchling is always so exciting!! Crop is full, so all looks good.

 

I agree, they are so ugly they are cute.....(Laughing out loud) Hoping for continued success with the rest of the eggs. As of Sunday, all but 1 of mine hatched. I have 5 healthy little alien budgies......(Laughing out loud)

Thanks Keet! I took a second peek later on and seen the tiny brat crawl over the eggs, that was so freakily cute! It's like a tiny wee munchkin chicken! Darn! I'm hungry now.

 

But I'm actually hoping a couple will fail, that's so many folks to take care of. But oh well, if they all hatch there's just gonna be LOTS of babies! I hope she won't have troubles feeding all the kids.

Congrats on your first little jelly bean, looking well fed too.

Congratulations Michelle, the first one is always special? I agree they are ugly but cute…something sort of primitive about them, till they get their nice covering of feathers, then they really do look cute. Don’t worry I know you don’t want to be over run by budgies, but budgie parents are usually really good parents & can raise a big batch without much trouble, if they have plenty & varied foods available.

 

#2 is here! Was born somewhere early morning or during the night. The eggshell is still around (They ate the other one.) Wow, if you compare the two, you can really see how fast these babies grow. #1 is just a couple days old! That's really interesting.

 

They'll be neat babies in no time. :bluebudgie:

Looking good....

They are looking fantastic, Michelle, and yes, the rate of growth is absolutely amazing.
