Posted March 20, 200916 yr Well here goes to breed some chicks! i have a mouve-colbat pair and a yf colbat-yellow with olive belly (not sure what that is) paired in make-shift breeding cages. the mouve-colbat pair I will refer to as pair 1 and the others are pair 2. Pair 1. Have one egg!!! woohoo!!! so excited! pair 2. have nothing but love their greens (good sign!) Wish me good luck!
March 20, 200916 yr Have we had pictures of "candled eggs"? Have a crack..., YIKES..., so to speak...after one more knowledgable than myself says it's okay.
March 20, 200916 yr Author it was only laid today so too soon to candle i think sooooo ........................ :yes:
March 20, 200916 yr Author i've never candled before; just let nature take her course. sooo here goes on a big trip!
May 8, 200916 yr Author I'm back!!!!!!!!! Nothing eventuated out of either pair. Pair 1 abandoned their eggs. And the male of pair two got far too clever for his own good and escaped through the foolishly-not-pegged-down cage doors. So that did not help. After that happened I put the female back in the avairy and thought as pair 1 were in a smaller cage I would put them in the larger cage. which made sense! So i caught them in the nest box (which they were going in and out of quite allot) and put the nest in the big cage and that was that... so I thougt. for the next couple of weeks I never once saw them in the nest box so I put them in the avairy again. That was a while ago and today I descided to have another go with another pair http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index....=25788&st=0
