heres a picture of the eggs, but now that I look at the pics with a little more light it seems 2 look fertile(sorry for the blurry picture, I tried to take it fast)

The other eggs most likely will be too, as the more recent eggs will be harder to tell. Candling the egg with a torch is the best way to tell, but after some days.

Good luck with the eggs

Yeah I did notice yesterday a third egg looked fertile. If the female was to lay another egg, it would be today, so when she comes out, I will check if there is a 7th egg.

so if your you first egg is infertile. all go after 23rd....................

 

ooo i'm happy for you.

yea the first is suppose to hatch on the 21st, but Im pretty sure that the first is infertile. And she stopped at 7 eggs

The 2nd egg layed hatched today. it only took 17 days instead of 18, and that one was suppose to hatch tomorrow. Oh and the first egg layed didnt hatch.

Congrats on your first baby :hap:

haha okay so here they are. There are now 3 that have hatched! And 3 of the other eggs look fertile. I have need to help them with feeding eventually. They are doing a good job of it now though.

Congrats on your new arrivals! Patience and persistance has paid off for you. Well done :budgiedance:

Time to begin adding a little more nesting materials. :budgiedance:

Haha thanks. Oh great idea kaz. I completely spaced on that, Ive just been so excited with the chicks hatching. I have a huge bag of nesting material sitting right in front the cage too haha.

This isnt the best picture, but here is a little update on how they look, obviously there are more than in the last picture I posted, and the there bigger haha

 

Looking GOOD :hap:

Wow congrats! What a great success for you

I will put some more pics up shorty. Their feathers are coming in very nice.

I will get some more pics, but this is one that I just took.

 

Your young are coming on well.

Alright here are some updated pics of the crew.

 

It seems all the chicks will probably recessive pied the male, except for this one,he seems he will be just like the female, but a little lighter and less green:

 

Adorable!!! Their colours are comming along nicely... Exciting isn't it :(Laughing out loud):

Yes its very exciting, and whats awesome is each chick is changing every day, and now it seems another one of the chicks is like the female.

Hey guys sorry I havent posted pics in awile, the camera software on the computer wasnt working. But Im glad to say that the oldest chick fledged the nest today! Here are some updated pics

 

Congratulations They all look fantastic.

they all look so healthy

Oh by the way after I posted this, I checked on them and the second oldest also left the nest!One thing Im a little worried about though is that the female got into a little squabble between the oldest chick, and the 2nd that fledged keeps biting the other chicks foot. I was going to wait about 2 or 3 days to move the chicks into a different cage, but do you think I should do it sooner?
