i'm sure there will be a male since jill laid 7 eggs :wub:

i just was talking to my friend and there are 6 chicks now :budgiedance:

Great news!!! You will have quite a selection to choose from :budgiedance: I hope one of them is a boy!

:budgiedance: How exciting for you, 5 or 6 weeks to wait! :(

Have you got your eye on "THE ONE" yet ....

 

 

Not long to go mate :budgiedance:

great news, jill had 3 chicks :hap:

 

 

Very cool...are there any pictures you can post, would they allow?

how exciting! you are in for a great time!

my friend doesn't want to bother the hen, as she gets mad when you disturb her. so i haven't seen any of the chicks yet :hap: but once they are able to feed on their own we will be going up to pick our budgie :D

well i found a very beautiful name and since he's not here yet, i'm changing it :hap: instead of kalen i'm naming him AZUL which is spanish and mexican and it means blue :D which is perfect because he will be blue :D

  • 2 weeks later...

another update :) jill had 5 chicks and my friend has had them out and held them. The 2 clutches haven't hatched yet so we think there will just be the 5 chicks. The oldest chick is starting to get tail feathers, so it should be a few more weeks and azul will be home :budgiedance:

the 5 chicks are doing great :D not all of them have their tail feathers yet, but one is poking its head out of the nest :wub: but the hen is still feeding them. so it shouldn't be long now :) and they all have most of their feathers :) they are the same colour as the parents which is blue :)

there is a chance i will see the chicks tomorrow :hap: karen and dave are coming to pick me up and we are going for a drive to a town 1 hour away. And on the way back i may stop in to see the budgies :hap: and i will bring my camera with me :hap:

okay i took some pics of the chicks :P

i don't know if you can tell what sex they are.

They look lovely :P

The look like they are all normal cobalt or sky blue (depending on the flash). I can't tell gender sorry - We need a clear photo of their cere from the front.

 

:) That is the strangest breeding setup i have ever seen.... Is that some kind of plastic food container????

yes it is. based on the FAQ section about sexing the chicks, i believe the 1st picture is a male

azul is coming home in 2 weeks :) all of the chicks are eating on their own now, but there's a few things we need to get, like food :D and gas is very expensive right now, so we're gonna wait until may 31st

:blink: Good news, await the pictures. :P
