Hi guys, here's a quick update, firstly found another 2 dead chicks in nestbox 1, so only 1 chick left and 1 egg which I don't think will hatch, but have to wait and see

Also found that in nestbox 3 with the 1 discoloured egg, 3 were broken and the discoloured one was rotten so I emptied that box, had it clean and replaced it.

What's the reason behind broken eggs?

Hi all sorry for not updating for so long, the cracked eggs were caused by other hens going into the nestboxes and cracking them, lost all the chicks, due to finding them flattened in the nestbox, in the end I sold all the budgies and used the cage for a ringneck pair for the indian ringneck breeding season, which I would say went ok. I want to breed budgies again but this time would like to try breeding them individual pairs per cage and not in a colony systemto see what happens. Would like to know what's the minimum size breeding cages I should make as I would be breeding common/petshop size budgies, so what cage size do you guys recommend for a pair of budgies
Thanks Lushen

So is it safe to say that your colony breeding experience was not a success because you had the problems associated with colony breeding?

Alternatively you can go for all wire cages.
