Hi! My son and I were recently told the his female Sapphire would have trouble laying her eggs if mated to Albert the beautiful big English budgie beside her on the right. Since then, my son did some research on the internet and found that the female lays her size eggs no matter. I was wondering what breeders on this forum, with experience in this matter thought.

 

Would Sapphire have any trouble laying eggs?

 

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

 

I believe you can breed the English with normal without any problems. The budgie won't be as big as an English type but it won't be as small as a normal type.

 

I haven't bred the two together before but I have had budgies which were a cross. Usually the head is big and the body is small.

 

Some others will clarify it.

 

Thanks

Hi amum4children,

 

I have bred a male Exhibition budgerigar to a small pet type hen without problems. Egg size is controlled by the female's body not the male's. The size of the male is irrelevant.

 

Regards

Thank you so much. You have made my son very happy since he can keep Beautiful English Albert now.

hehe now that would look funny in the act.

Hehe! :-))

 

Oh Dear! The Heading was meant to say 'two' not 'to!' Ooops!

No biggy at all but I'm interested if heading can be edited?
