September 18, 200915 yr Author Thanks! They are pet type birds, but oh well. I only have 2 show types at the moment, and they're both cocks!! Going budgie shopping next week Here are some photos of the chick, next to a standard size matchbox. Taken tonight. Can't wait to see what colour!! Any guesses on hen or cock?
September 18, 200915 yr Thanks Anne! Will keep updated photos. okay, so she's a hen? Cool! Hope I'm right....Cool...love photo's !!
September 21, 200915 yr Author Chick #2 hatched on Sunday night! Next chick due on Thursday Pics Mum's doing an awesome job feeding them I need to put some wood shavings in the nest for them today........ 2 babies hatched, 2 to go Edited September 21, 200915 yr by bird_paradise
September 25, 200915 yr Author 3 chicks now with the next and last one due today =) So a clutch of 4 chicks, if this one hatches All doing really well, oldest 2 starting to loose baby fluff and ready for pin feathers Edited September 25, 200915 yr by bird_paradise
September 26, 200915 yr Author Thanks Kaz! I am really pleased with the result of this clutch, went and checked the babies yesterday afternoon, and Mum has fed them all soooo well their crops looked like they were about to burst! Baby #4 hatched yesterday also, right on time. Sadly, that one didn't make it. I think the others squashed it, they are soooo big now, and I don't think mum knew it was there becuase the others are so big and loud. RIP baby #4. :rip: But...... the biggest and oldest baby has her eyes open now, and is about to get pin feathers very soon. :dbb1: The 2nd biggest and oldest baby has her eyes open too. The 3rd baby is about to open her eyes. :grbud: :offtopic: One of my cockatiels has 3 eggs, and another one laid one on Friday!! The pair with 3 eggs is a grey normal cock with a pearl hen. The pair that has 1 egg so far is a GORGEOUS pearl pied cock, with a ????? hen! Happy budgie keeping
October 8, 200915 yr Author Here's some new photos! Just for easy telling apart, I will call the oldest one Prickles, the 2nd youngest Punk and the youngest one Tips. Prickles is 3 weeks old today, the others are 2 days and 4 days younger. Punk might keep his/her name, but the others will be changed. Just on the moment names for identification. I rung them all today, very proud I did a good job didn't pinch them or anything. :ohmygod: Prickles Punk Tips Group shots Any mutation and sex ideas welcome please! Thanks :camera: Edited October 8, 200915 yr by bird_paradise
October 8, 200915 yr Nice chicks, Bird Paradise! Just for fun, I will take a stab at their sexes, even though I will probably be wrong. The experts can let us know. :ohmygod: The younges one looks a little bit male to me, but my official guess is all 3 hens.
October 8, 200915 yr Author Thanks Finnie!!! Yes, I think they might all be hens too, but will wait and see
