Lovely birds Kaz, hard day at work today so am too lazy to type anything else.

thats great news Kaz.

 

Splat... I know how you feel... I'm signing off now for an hours sleep before I pick up the wife...

2nd chick hatched shortly after the first...so two chicks in the same day of Omelettes.

For an auction bird, that hen seems to have been worth far more in breeding than whatever you paid for her! How much did you pay by the way? Im amazed at how well she has produced for you and you are right in that she deserves a rest!!

 

It's great to find such super hens, they are the foundation of every successful line and are priceless when you consider how many excellent offspring will inherent her good traits.

 

Congratulations on such a successful purchase

Congratulations on such a successful purchase :hap:

 

 

She cost me $235...the most I have paid for a bird so far

What a super star hen!!!

 

Gorgeous babies

even at 235 she has bred extremely well... looking forward to seeing them all grow up No doubt they'll look great. Maybe even a champion in there :laughter:

I'm just new to this forum, but this thread is amazing. It took me about 1 hour to read it last week. I can't believe that your babies have so much feathers to unroll when they are babies. No wonder you have already done well with them.

 

Very informative. Thanks for sharing Kaz.

 

PS Can I use the $235 thing on my husband the next time I spend big on budgies? :hug:

:laughter: Yeah why not :hug: Eventually the husbands get into it too and they dont mind as much

... What about the wives?? I just asked my wife and she said... "Of course you can James, Of Course." she then said, "try it, try it." I might add I'm just about swimming in her sarcasm. :hug:

Sounds like you are "on a short leash" JB

:laughter: She loves me. The time will come and I know she'll let me... just not right now (thats what I keep telling myself)

To advance with budgies JB they need to be sneaked in 3 or 4 at a time, building up numbers, not adding one by one by breeding ( but adding by breeding helps too ) ...................

:laughter: That is very true I think I'll start off a little cheaper than 235 though

We now have four new hatched chicks of Omelette and Stud in fosters nests from the third round of eggs she laid while she had chicks in the nestbox. Two other eggs were damaged by the foster mother and another foster mother left two eggs to go cold, so I think this is all we will get this time. They are in a nest of blue series babies so it will be easy to pick them out when they feather up but they are also the youngest in this nest. .

Even if the husbands/(wives) don't get into it they do eventually give up and realise it's easier to just go along for the ride

MY hubby has joined me with my birds now - Staying at Kaz's place converted him

 

So sorry the cold eggs didnt make it in the end

 

YAY!! four more babies for Omelette

sorry about the other eggs, hope these chicks grow up and feather nicely.
