The male is Pop,

and the hen's name is Ino

 

These two have 3 eggs so far and she is sitting really well

 

I hope i can get rings in time to ring the babies

Rings cantake four or five weeks so make sure they are one order now

Congrats Liv.....can't wait to see their babies

Oh...good luck they are going to produce some beautiful chicks.

They are a beautiful pair, hope you get some great results from them.

very cute pair. Looking forward to seeing their babies.

Thanks everyone. I am really excited about these two as well. She loves herself as you can see by her pose.

He loves anything with a heart beat - he is the father of nearly all my budgies from summer. he is a real stud with the ladies

I have not used her before, even though i have had her for about 2 years, so i am really hoping all goes well with her.

great news on the eggs. I love these posts. This pair look good, and you never really know what you are going to end up with. Or do you? Pop is a sky blue dominant pied. he split to anything? He fathered any cinnamon's, or albinos?

Good luck with it all mate ... Are you going to be ringing the chicks?

I hope to ring them - Depends if I can order and receive the rings in time...

Get straight onto your club and order uncodeds for now Liv....ASAP.

Too late to order codeds for this year.

okay, will do that Kaz - Thanks

okay what is the difference between uncodeds and codeds?

I believe it means that they are blank Jimmy vs having all the number on it like what club, year and a breeders number..that is my educated guess :hug:

okay. thanks! Good luck getting them rung neat!

Sadly these two were rushed into breeding (wont do that again :raincloud: ) and their only chick had such servely splayed legs that she couldn't even shuffle around the bottom of the cage... she had to be euthinased

 

Pop, the cock is retired as he is a lot smaller than most of my show birds (:yes: ) and the hen is prepping for breeding as she has an amazing lutino cock bird to go with

Hey Liv, what do you mean they were "rushed' into breeding?

I normally increase calcium, vitimins, fresh food and excersise etc etc etc before breeding, and with them i didnt do any of that so i am blaming that for the splayed legs. It could have been the hen sitting too tight too... but i think it was all a bit rushed.

Oh right, I understand. Yes, you do have to prepare your birds. I'm currently 'holding' mine back till I'm happy their calcium intake is sufficient. :raincloud:
