Your photos are not terribly clear, what is the brown staining on the face of the hen? It looks like she might have a respiratory infection.

If she has a respiratory infection then she needs to see an avian vet.
I wouldn't breed them while a bird is ill or under the weather.

I wouldn't breed them until they are not so scared of people personally. You will be doing checks on the babies and handling them (after washing your hands) so you need the parents to be a bit accepting of you in my opinion.

That was the sound of everything you just said flying right over my head. Apart from the bit about the golden and chrome budgie, can you make it platinum, and can I have one please?  |

Back to breeding, (sorry to be boring) but if you have only just purchased these birds, don't rush into anything. Take the nest box out, give the birds the best chance to bond with each other, work on getting them tame enough for them to accept your presence in the nest box, when it comes to that time, and give them the best diet you possibly can. Once they have been on a good protein rich diet for a couple of months and they are accepting your presence, seem to be bonded, the birds are in breeding condition, then it might be time to get the nest box back out. Rushing into things will only lead to disappointment. |

I would of worked it out myself but the budgies head was slightly in the way of the formula! Good luck with the breeding when your buds are ready.. I am in the same boat and going to wait till next year now |
