Posted February 5, 200619 yr Hello All, I cant tell if my budgies mated or not. My female used to dig around and naw in the box and my male would feed her and stuff. Now, all she does is sit in it and she dosnt move. She hasnt laid any eggs but her butt looks a little fat. However, it has looked that way since yesterday. Did they mate? Thanks Jen :hap:
February 5, 200619 yr If she is spending more and more time in the box then you might get an egg soon. A enlarged vent area is another sign. How long have they been paired up with a nest box?

For a few months. However today i looked in my nesting box and she has laid an egg! I really hope its fertile. i cant wait!
February 7, 200619 yr She should start to lay every other day. That means no egg tomorrow but hopefully the day after. If this is her first she should get between 3 to 6 eggs. Start counting the days from the second egg. 18 days to hatching. Best of luck.
