Wow, she's laying already

unfortunately 3 days ago, i found the eldest cinnamon sky blue baby on the aviary floor huddled in the quail house with the quail's! :rofl: so he left the nest earlier then i thought...but their all inside now, all the baby's.

Omelette usually lays second round while chicks are still in the nest

Here is Omelette's two other chicks in foster nests

 

and Omelette's grandchildren :rofl:

 

i would love that green opaline hen, too bad i live over the other side of australia :rofl:

Wouldnt matter if you were mate......I am not breeding her for a sale bird. She will be part of a future breeding program based on Omelette's line. :rofl:

fair enough, she's a beautiful opaline, would be interesting to see in the future what she throw's and who her mate will be.

I must say though...if you lived nearby I would help you with a bird or two :rofl:

Nah it's all good, I've got enough to look after :rofl: unless i get another aviary, which i might. ill probably just stick with the 24 i have and then ill maybe put some scarlet-chested parrot's in the new aviary or a pair of princess or even a cinnamon conure pair

Two eggs to Omelette...one chick still in the nestbox with her :rofl:

I put the youngest chick in the tub on the floor of the breeder cage with its siblings...............NASTY took exception to that and attacked the sister....blood on its head ( not serious ) and it bit NASTY back on the cere. NASTY was doing this in the nestbox too, and thats how she got her name.

So I put NASTY in the kindie/holding cage.....

NASTY

injured sibling

Here is an interesting sight..............the grey green cock is one of Omelette's sons by a previous clutch. He was in there recovering from an injury to his eye from some wire catching his eye in the aviary. So big brother ( half brother ) and NASTY sitting together

 

 

 

Later in the day I put all the babies in the kindie cage

When I found him in the aviary he had blood streaming from his eye socket and it looked like he had lost his eye. Even when I bathed it and cleaned it there was no eyeball there. Next day he was much better and a few days later his eyeball appeared as if like magic. It had been pushed back into his eye socket looking like he had lost his eyeball. Over a week his eye got much better and I tested his sight and he can see. We were very lucky

very nice bird kaz

Nice Kaz, omelette never stops does she haha, how many clutches are a safe number for a hen to raise each year?.
