I have got 3 pairs in cabinets starting to breed and they are going well so far.

My first pair, df white spangle hen and green recessive pied male and they have 3 eggs at the moment

 

 

One egg looks bigger than the other two.

 

 

My second pair,skyblue opaline cinnamonwing hen and cobalt normal male and they have 1 egg so far.

 

 

My third pair, skyblue cinnamonwing hen and blue recessive pied male. They are both in the nestbox alot but no eggs yet.

 

Wow how exciting waiting for them to hatch, I would love to see picture's of the babies of the first pair.

 

I think I am going to be a fan of the Dom/ Rec pieds, I just love the colours!

Wow exciting

These all birds you had previously deb?

How exciting! The start of the breeding season is always full of anticipation.

 

The bigger egg may well be a double yolker. Do you candle the eggs to find out?

I'd like to see the babies of this pair too, the male looks just like my Louie ..at least from the front he does.

Which birds are you concerned about it? i know i am not sure of Ozzie's age but he has been interacting with the hens in the aviary so i decided to give him a try.

Kelani is paired with a new bird Konani who does look exactly like Romeo jr, the only way i can tell them apart is that He has bigger throat spots than Romeo.

I will candle them.

i have had not had much success with my pairs. I put 3 pairs together so i would have foster parents if something went wrong but only 1 pair is breeding. The first pairs eggs were infertile because the hen went to the nest before bonding with the male. i have removed her eggs, nestbox and male and will rest her for a few days and then try again. The second pair are going well, she has 4 eggs and i have candled the first 2 and one is fertile which is great. The third pair are both spending heaps of time in the nest box but still no egg. I did have another pair i tried as well a few weeks ago but she laid 3 eggs and then broke and ate them. Hopefully things will improve soon.
