Stan & Cassie,one of my breeding pairs, laid their first egg yesterday. This will be both of their first times raising a clutch. Dad is on the right: And here's Mum: Last but not least, here's the egg. I'll be candling it on day three to see if it's fertile or not.

I'm so happy they paired themselves up as they really are a pretty couple! As I just breed for a hobby, I have no interest in pairing them up for my own benefit so they go with whoever they want too. These just happen to be a beautiful little couple! The little green fella is Henry! He was Stan's best friend before he fell in love with Cassie and now Henry is best friends with Tommy. He's completely adorable!

I'm glad Henry still has a best friend I love their little relationships and personalities!

Cassie is currently sitting on three eggs. I have candled the first egg today and it's fertile. I'm excited to see what Cassie & Stan will produce. Cassie is an English budgie and her mutation is sky blue spangle single factor. Stan is a spangle grey wing yellow face I.

Exciting times Have you got vitamins, extra calcium, mineral blocks etc for Cassie whilst she is breeding to help nourish her body?

Today Cassie laid her fourth egg.
I checked the second egg today and it looks infertile.
Stan is being very attentive so far and quite frequently goes into the nest box with Cassie.

Latest update: Cassie is up to seven eggs. 1 is fertile 2 & 3 are infertile 4 & 5 are fertile 6 is infertile 7 still to be checked.
If she lays 8, that will be due today but I'm hoping she's done.
