Posted June 1, 200519 yr the fourth of my eggs hatched this morning horray! just one egg left and its making noises inside. daisy is working soo hard now but frankie is being an excelent dad and he is spending a lot of time in the nest box with her. the oldest baby is 5 days old and it is opening its eyes, does it normally happen this early? anyway here is a picture for you :bluebudgie:
June 1, 200519 yr Oh just look at that-a little bowl of babies! How gorgeous,and the way you describe the egg as just making a noise-so sweet! Congratulations. :bluebudgie: Julie
June 1, 200519 yr I can hear what i can only describe as little clicking noises and sometimes a tiny tweet (Laughing out loud). thats what happened with the other four too. im really lucy though because both daisy and especially frankie are very hand tame so i have been able to tough the eggs and babies when i need to right from the begining. they are an excelent pair and this is only their first time. arnt they great (Laughing out loud) :bluebudgie:
June 2, 200519 yr well bad news about the tweeting egg, that was over a day ago and there has been no sound sice plus with the other eggs i could feel the babies moving when i held it and with this one..nothing! im thinking that the baby may have died but we'll find out soon cos its due to hatch tomorrow. at lest the other four are healthy, the oldest has its eyes open ind its getting downy featheres now. its a week old today

That is very sad BUT very exciting your babies are beautiful, it makes me want to start breeding again now.
June 2, 200519 yr well.... panic over for now anyway. i can hear noises from the egg again, very faint but they are there. there may still be hope. fingers crossed anyway here is a picture of the oldest chick. it is a week old today you cant really tell from the picture but the eyes are open. the marks under the skin, on the head especially are quite dark. im hoping he/she is going to be blue chrissy x
June 2, 200519 yr oh my goodness. i shocked myself when i looked at that picture. I said 'awwwww look - its so cute' out loud to my hubby! perhaps i am beginning to think they aren't so ugly at that stage as i thought. thats progress.
June 3, 200519 yr well the fith and final egg has hatched and if doing well, the oldest chick is now got lots of downy feather and two have their eyes open. frankie the dad is looking quite thin, he feeds daisy the mum and he also helps to feed the babies. daisy on the other hand is looking great, im giving frankie a little more tlc at the moment (Laughing out loud). chrissyx
