I am curious....when you say a very young pair how old are the parents ?

Cock looks very young to me, can't even see Iris rings yet.

Hen looks a little young also :S

The pair both look too young to be breeding. I think you're right with the mutations but the hen's picture is not clear enough to be sure

I am curious....when you say a very young pair how old are the parents ?

Kaz curious killed cat (jeje) less than a year.

One thing, photos are not fresh, now both have irish and front without bars (not so many youngs, they are young not babys (jeje).

'

One day I saw they so much falled in love that I thought I'm going to put a nest to see what happend'. I did a gave a pass back and they began to matting (I thought sure thay aren`t going to lay) but less than in a week they had layed an egg I know they are to youg sorry about that, I promes not do it again, I thought didn't going to hatch anything (also so many eggs) and I think there are going to hatch more chicks.

It is the responsible thing to do to NOT put a nesting box in with budgies less than a year old.

Yes I know, I thought they won't going to lay any, I promess never do it again .

 

Here you have third baby out

They are looking good so far.

Good to hear you understand about the recommended age of breeding.

I hope they continue being good parents for you.

There looks to be at least 2-3 more fertile eggs.

 

Do you have potential foster parents for the babies if your young pair start having troubles?

I think only one is not fertile

No, I have two more hens laying but they began to lay las week so they cannot be adoptive parents, also have one other with three sons but they almos are 4 weeks old, so if them have problems I will try to hand raising them (or the problem ) I know they are so small that it´s almost impsible to do something but worse is to look at them hungry dieding (if something goes wrong I found it )

But I hope they will be very good parents, Rarita's mother was a wonderfull mother layed 8 eggs and hached 8 chiks only problem she had wanted to began a new breeding when the first one was about 4 weeks and began to atack every she have in hand (or better said beak)( included her husband )

fourth little one:

The fifth was born today:

may be only one more

They are growing very well :hap:

 

I say 2 more eggs to go :hap:

Sixth was born today there is very diference between bigger and smaller

hay Liv... I don't know... I wish you true in other hand I think there are enought chicks for a very joung pair althought they are doing well.

each day is mor dificult to shot a photo, rarita doesn't get out and bite my fingers when I want to take her out ( she is hand raised) and also MOP is getting in nest when he looks I'm going to open nest, so may be next days will be so much dificult to see an other hatch.

one more egg to go.

Make sure you give the parents LOTS and LOTS of soft nutritious food as their work load is very large now.

SEVENNNNN

 

And the other egg sure is not going to hatch. here you have two photos there is so many diference between bigger and smaller...

All together

First one is going to be yellow face:

 

YF blue hen Very cute

Very Nice, Indeed - I can see another YF in that nest too

Yes, there are more YF inthere an other day I shot more photos

 

K A Z ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ that's incredible 'YF blue hen' so little you can say sex? Sometimes I can't until almost 2 months. For me at that age all have same 'CEREO' color, but you are right also I think she is gong to be cobalt.
