Hi Again,

 

I was wondering How Long Does It Take A Budgie To Lay Eggs?

My Budgies are doing everything right but they are not breeding Example: There Mating(Humping) 4Pairs

And There in The box but just not Laying Eggs One of the feamale has been in the nesting box for roughly about 15hours a day but no eggs this female is about 2.5 years old and the mate is 2years old and there so beuitiful birds there heath is 95% I Give them so many greens a day 15 a day My dad says that its not the season but im sure it is! (Its Sping 2Month) If U Can Think why my budgies are not breeding i would really appreicate it And also thanks for reading my statement.Cheers Nathan M.

A first egg can take around 10 days or more to arrive ...some earlier, some later. Some hens go to the nestbox and just sit in there and do not realise they have to mate to lay eggs. Some hens go into the nestbox to escape a cock birds who is too "pushy"...if thats the case you need to check her over for signs of illness or stress ( poopy bottom, lost weight ). Budgies dont actually have a "season" like larger parrots do, they would breed all year round if you let them ( but its best not to go past 2 rounds ).

Do you have any photos of your setup, so we can help by looking and working things out ?

I would suggest that you invest in some mousetraps and place them well away from any place that a budgie can get to. I'm a bit confused by these white things on her chest that you mentioned. Firstly eggs can not be seen through the skin. Secondly only one develops at a time. Thirdly the only organs that occupy her chest are her lungs and heart. Her ovaries are in her abdomen, which is covered quite extensively by er keel bone and pectoral muscles.

Those white things don't sound good to me, i would get them checked out.
