i actually went into the local this arvo, the nice feller gave me a good decent amount of egg n cookie mix for the pinkies (for free) its not like i begged for it, i would of happily paid whatever

 

oh and hey!

look what i found! must of only hatched within the past 1-2 hrs =D

 

not sure how to pm pics to you generic, but these are my girls

my apologies for the blur

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now 5

okay well thanks i cant see two well but i get general idea what you have

 

how many hens all up and how many cocks

and do you ever remove the breeding boxes

and do you house your young else where or just leave them in flight with other when they are out or do you sell them on

i now have 6 babies [= ill post pics whenever i can

 

i got probs 10 of each? i have a cage ready for them when they are ready to fly.i was thinking about removing the boxes and maybe bring them back in in a few months.

i just asked as birds seem to look but dull in my opinion but thats me

i would definitely take boxes out but for 6 months not just a few

then proceed in putting them back in if your going to breed that way or hint hint so you can colour breed to your little heart is content selloff few off spring or birds in general and get 6 breeding size flight cages and then keep main aviary for all birds then choose your own pairs and breed then separately

not only will you get colours and variety you want yu also know how many nests each hens had and can then rest them as needed and exchange hens giving your birds better life style and you get the added bonus of viewing the babys daily if you like handling them enjoying them way more than in a colony style breeding situation more chance of chick hatch-ability also

think about it

choise is yours

but the fors out way any against if you truly want the best from your birds coulors and tame a bility

thanks for the heads up blue.

youre awesome! taking aboard your advice

thats nice to know you are willing to listen

im quiet happy to answer any questions openly so long as your willing to exept that i can be harsh at times

if i had real issues id pm you

but as i said your birds look like a rest is due

autumn is time for leaves to fall off trees and feathers to fall off birds ready to be replaced with a more feathered coat for winter

people tend to forget this :}

im happy to go out my way to help if your willing to listen and learn

as i refill shavings

 

 

 

total of 7, enjoy folk

 

That is a lot of babies for one hen

Its good that she's taking good care of them all, even the tiniest one (which probably isn't so tiny anymore )

i havnt read this whole thread but isnt 7 babies a bit extreme for one hen to handle? do you have any other pairs down maybe you could fost a few out?
