Ok I'm outside now to take a pic of the bird and you are right when comparing it to the female it could be a skyblue cos it has some splotches of blue up front so would it then be a recessive skyblue pied

Yes as I said purple cere and dark plum color eyes will make him Recessive Pied. The pictures will confirm Sky Blue color.

Quick question I saw my darkgreen pied female passing a white coloured fluid from her vent, what is the fluid that she is passing and why is she passing the fluid, is this natural? Thanks Lushen Breeding hen's poo is watery, smelly and a lot, 8 to 10 times more than normal. It may be that.

Managed to take out one pic will take out more pics tomorrow, its hard to take out pics with the budgie moving so much, it does have a purple cere but the eyes look black, as for the rump with the wing open I would also now say skyblue.
So my question is if the father is recessive skyblue pied and the mother is dominant skyblue pied, what babies can I expect from this pairing
Thanks Lushen

Sorry Buddy couldn't take out pics without the flash today as I came home late. A quick update the female from "Pair Number 1" is now up to 2 eggs. Wanted to know if taking pics of the eggs with a flash, would it have any effect on the eggs Thanks Lushen Attachments:

It sometimes disturbs those hens who are not used to flash light and get panic and start jumping around the nest box resulting in damaging the eggs.

The cock is either a double factor dominant pied or a combination of dominant and recessive pied. There is definitely dominant pied showing. With colony breeding you won't know if he is the father of the chicks or not because a budgie hen will accept any available cock, not just the cock that is her bonded partner

I have decided not to disturb the budgies for a fews days as I want the other females to lay, will go into the cage daily to change food and water but won't interfere with the nestboxes, will check on them again next week wednesday, this will give the other females a sense of security, I have seen 4 other females in nestboxes but no eggs yet, so I hope this helps
Will update you guys again on any improvements, I will check on nestbox 1 on a daily basis as the mum is comfortable with me checking.
Thanks Lushen

Thanks Lushen

Quick question I noticed that Serz uses marbles in his nestboxes to prevent the hen sitting to tight onto the chicks, would it be a good idea to use these in my nestboxes and when would you guys suggest I put these marbles in before any eggs are laid, during egg laying, after all eggs are laid or once the first chick hatches?
Thanks Lushen

With colony breeding you won't know if he is the father of the chicks or not because a budgie hen will accept any available cock, not just the cock that is her bonded partner Hi New The budgies that are genetically double factor dominant pieds shouldn't be almost all clear? And can a double factor dominant pied have pink cere and orange beak?
