10th April 2009. I was woken up this morning by cheeping and peeked in and there was a tiny jelly bean chick. I thought it was cute because whne Lumina stepped off to see the baby was moving it's wings so to speak like he/she was saying "Wear's my blanket gone?"

 

Yesterday I was checking looking for a chick..... just to find out I was a day to early *slaps self in the head*

A BIG congratulations Jodie

Congratz Jodie

Congratulations Jodie very exciting!!

I'm weirded out......a second egg has just hatched its 9:30pm and the other hatched the same day in the morning about the same time, whats up with that she sat from day 1 on the first egg never came off it....

Congratulations on youe 1st jelly bean what happens is when the hen lays her eggs she lays them every second day as you know and then she will normally start sitting on the eggs after the second egg has been laid so that means 2 babies hatch on the same day BUT sometimes she will sit after laying the 1st egg.

I hope this helps :gday:

It's funny George the male comes into the box and looks out the door at me and when I put my hand up to stop him flying out he's licks me....it tickles.

 

Where as Lumina has a race with me to see who gets to the box first.

Can anyone sex these, I know there young but I have people who want only males I said I can't promise anything but I was just wondering... I think it could be a boy and a girl. I'll take pictures later when there older to.

I have 6 chicks saddly the seventh chick died at one day old I cried so bad...it's my first chick loss

and second budgie to pass. I did'nt know what to do I found it burried. Can budgie's smother chicks?

Happened to me 3 times this season. Always with the last chick. Its avoidable if you can swap out bigger chicks to foster nests and keep the numbers down. The oldest chicks are huge by the time babies 5,6 and onwards hatch. Another thing that might help is putting 1-3 fake eggs in the nest for the small chicks to hide between or rest on.

 

I'm definately going to be more careful around the time the lasts chicks hatch next breeding season.

Congrats on the little family, are they showing colour yet?
