Posted September 22, 200915 yr I am so excited, after ages of waiting I finally have two :nest: , and am hoping they will lay 6 as they are first parents I will post pics of the parents soon. laid on the 19...etc of Sep, they should hatch on the 7th etc... I can't wait to see what colours they turn out as the hen is a DF white, i think , although I dont know much about all the types, and the cock is a sky blue recessive pied. so now I have a waiting game... Yay Kirsty :bliss:
September 22, 200915 yr YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO! i JUST LOVE BLUE SPANGLES! YAY KIRSTY!
September 23, 200915 yr Author Yay, I love Blue Spangle too, well actually I love all budgies in general These are one of my pet pairs, so I am hoping my show type birds will breed soon, although I don't plan to show them, I just love them too! Here is a photo from ages ago of the parents... The hen has black eyes not red, so she is a DF white I think Edited September 23, 200915 yr by budgieloverkirsty
October 8, 200915 yr Author Yay, Angel's first egg hatched yesterday, so the next one is due tomorrow. I am so excited! Kirsty =D
October 11, 200915 yr Author Hey Everyone, I am still waiting for the third egg to hatch, as Angel laid the first and second at 2 day intervals and then waited 4 days to lay the third why did she do this? Will it cause a problem in the nest as 1 and 2 will be so much bigger than the third? I have no forster nests, as they all started at different times and all the others have eggs with no babies yet. Thanks Kirsty

Thanks Kirsty Dont worry.........all will be fine. It isnt too large an age gap.
October 11, 200915 yr Sometimes hens skip days when they are laying. I suppose that if she missed multiple days it may have been that her body had a little glitch, and she did not produce an egg on that day. Most things run like clockwork, but even the best watch can skip a beat or two. I do look forward to seeing any pics you take.
October 11, 200915 yr I had a hen that laid every 3rd day. and this year one of my hens laid 2 eggs on time then waited 6 days to lay the next one and the next one was 2 days after that but the last 2 turned out clear.
October 14, 200915 yr Author Thankyou all for answering my questions, Angel has three babies, and they all look healthy, so I don't expect any problems. Sorry I have been recharging my batteries, so I should have some pics soon. Kirsty
October 21, 200915 yr Author Pepper has three babies, Storms are due tomorrow, and Angels three are growing fast! I should have some pics tomorrow, sorry
October 26, 200915 yr Author Hey, Angels- 1st Blue Spangle 2nd - I think its a Blue Spangle 3rd Not sure yet, its eyes are still closed, and it is 2 weeks old, when do they usually open? Pepper had 8 eggs, 1, 2 and 3 have hatched, and 4 and 5 should have hatched but havent, why not? they all were fertile eggs? Storm, same as Pepper 1 and 2 have hatched, and should have 4 HELP Kirsty
October 26, 200915 yr There are a few reasons why eggs don't hatch,you could break the shell & see if the chicks went the full time,if they did the shell may of been to hard,the chicks may of been to weak to chip out.there is other thing that can go wrong.I they died before there full time,again there is a number of reasons,but without seeing the eggs & your set up.I would only guessing.
