i still say female, because it is abit wite around her nostrils, and is playing and all that with the other male, i am sure i am not wrong and why isn't kaz replying here??

 

The link dosen't show bright pink, really bright, because if you were here, you would see it is fully pink, and white around the edges

The description you just gave indicates male. Females should have an all over whiteness of the cere, with the nostrils being a bit whiter often. Males have the slightly darker baby pink/purple cere , and they also have white circles around the nares (nostrils) sometimes. As mentioned, budgies often form relationships with same sex, especially males. If I went down to my aviary, I would see just as many if not more males feeding/bonding, then hen's and males.

 

Also, Kaz isn't the only member on here who can answer questions. Some people on here have been breeding for very long, and have very much experience and knowledge, some even more then Kaz. We are lucky enough to have this forum, every one's opinion and advice should be valued.

Yea i know,

i said is is white, i am new to breeding so yea.

It is white alot around but if you see it from my vision you will say it is female, trust vets and everyone that i know that says it is a female

 

Hi guys

I bred another pair, that laid 5 eggs, 2 cracked, and 3 left, the last egg should be hatched on the 10-8-11 so maybe this week they hatch XD peace

I have had 'experts' tell me a rec pied male was female only to come on here and find out I'd been had.

I've learnt to not trust people that say they are experts, I've even had vets say they are not experts.

 

Have you candled the remaining 3 eggs?

Hopefully you'll have some luck :D

They should.

Just make sure you are giving them some calcium for when they lay more eggs :)

Thank you, and eya, i put a cuttlefish bone, and calcium block, everytime the hen eats it, the male follows and eats it too, so cute:),

ALL OF THE OLD EGGS WERE INFERTILE BUT 1 WAS FERTILE< BUT CRAKED , hope they breed again, so yea, they will lay eggs again, just to make sure, please reply:)

 

 

When will the eggs be laid????

Edited by Finnie

Depends they may not want to breed again or anywhere between a couple of days and a week or two. depends when they mate.

Thats great news. sounds like your dad is very keen on you getting some more babies.

if shes already laid one round i wouldnt expect her to take take to long to lay again, she will lay when shes ready

Edited by Finnie

chucking out the nesting material is a good sign as well as going in and out of the nest box.

 

She's basically rearranging everything to her liking for when she lays :)
