awesome chicks!! they are going to be little (i mean BIG) rippers!!!

is their a reason why they looked so stretched out? mine look nowhere near as long as them lol

their dad is long ;)

Ahh so thats why :D what effects will that have on the chicks? like example will it be only the cock-bird's that are long or will it spread to all gender's?

All the chicks should be longer in length, though it is not 100 guaranteed. It is like if you had one tall parent and one short parent. You could get the height from one parent.

i see, thanks for the info mate. ive really only got 1 "long" showtype, and he's 7 yrs old, so he's only in the aviary to watch all the young blokes get the chicks while he sits their and does his thing hahaha. although he has a little lutino hen playing with him and grooming him, hope they dont breed though, cause he's too old

He doesnt think he's too old I'll bet. I have heard of budgie cocks being Dads at 9,10, and 14 years of age. Dont write him off too soon :D

Babies so far seem to be 5 hens one cock. And so far five are spangles, The ones feathering up so far are two grey spangles, one grey cinnamon spangle, one grey green spangle and two others to feather up.

Spangle's are alway's good property to have,

Omelette's youngest and sixth chick which was being fostered in another nestbox, I discovered had a broken neck. It was alive and being fed but could not hold its own head up. The head was totally turned upside down. I had to euthenase it :)

Oh No!, more terrible news on top of the princess parrot's :D

it was the best thing to do though, he would have lived a miserable life not being able to lift his head, and even then probably wouldn't have survived.

You are right of course. It was another little girl budgie.

What a horrible time :D . Biggest hugs from me and i really hope it all gets better from here. :)

It should have been a hearthbreaking experience , hope you will not have to face with this again .
