Just caught up on your goings on. Sad about the chick and Dipper. Not nice to come home to that. But the others look great.

well I have Pip and Bella with 6 chicks each!!! Also Esme has 3 eggs so far, hoping to sort out the problem of d.i.s ( dead in shell) been advanced to spray water into the nest box a week before the eggs are to hatch, really hope is helps! Barney is being a fantastic dad with his chicks xxx The chicks from the first round are in the flight, loving the space !!! Rocky I've kept back as he doesn't seem to be able to fly very well and took along time even to start perching xxxx
I have also rung the 21st chick yesterday a few more to go tooo!!!

I think they had about 3 and they were all nearly ready to hatch! I even had a night light on in case she had night frights

You are right, that's too many from one pair. What have you planned about this issue?

advised to spray water into the nest boxes to stop the eggs drying out!

Esme's only chick Kenny is now 6weeks old and in the aviary with all the budgies, because if I left him in the baby cage he'd be on his own. my 3 new budgies Daisy the grey, Murphy the light green and y/f grey Barbie
