hi everyone,

 

just a couple questions if i may...........

 

i have put my cobalt/violet cock with a new hen i bought recently and was wondering how long does it take for them to produce eggs ?????

 

there are in a cabinet breeding cage with fresh seed every day plus also sprouted seed,vegetables,shell grit, etc etc

 

they have been paired up now for 10 days.

 

they are nice and warm as the breeding box is inside the house. the hen keeps going into the box itself all the time but i check and no eggs ????????

 

 

just wondering cause im keen to get some baby budgies.

 

 

thanks in advance

A week to ten days after signs of mating. BUT often a bird newly brought in has to have a time to settle into the new routine, new food etc. And then there is a period of quarantine away from other birds for a minimum of 30 days.

wow thanks Kaz......

 

didnt know about the quarantine. she is a great bird and has bonded with my cock bird and the min i take him out she goes nuts !

 

they are preening each other and all seems well so ill keep an eye on them.

 

 

thanks again
