Hope they will all be fine, I've only bred once sue and I didn't sleep properly for weeks worrying about them! I look at them all now all healthy and happy and mixing well with the others and I still can't believe it. I must admit reading about yours and others birds breeding is making me broody! I'd love to breed them again but I wouldn't be able to part with any again and we just can't keep any more indoors. How many birds do you have sue? and how long have you been breeding?

Hi Lesley. I have 22 in the shed out the back.i won't be able to keep all these unfortunately if they hatch.it is so hard letting them go and I o get attached to them so much.i will see what they look like after their first moult. I have been keeping and breeding budgies since 1996. I had a bigger set up then and about 40 budgies.unfortunately I only have a postage stamp for a back garden so I can't have as many budgies. By the way I have 10 fertile eggs now!! :-) Sue

Lesley when August /September comes and I start conditioning my breeders I get instantly broody and I can't wait to see those little pink aliens in the nest. Sue

I'm really pleased for you sue since I posted I've seen Fred (dad to the first chicks) mating with our other hen. It really surprised me because she's normally fighting off any male admiration. There is a bit of 'discussion' for want of a better word, in our house at the moment, I want to put her and Fred in a breeding cage but Johns saying no because we can't keep any more........

Aww tell him it's such a shame.Fred wants babies.i think when you are restricted to space it's horrible.i like seeing how each budgie turns out and what personality it has. Then when I move them on I like to tell people about each one so they can match them- selves to a certain budgie. Sue I can sneak one into your house Lesley if you want :-)

Ooooo yes please If we could keep them outside it wouldn't be so much of a problem but we don't have a very big garden either and we have neighbours that send anonymous letters complaining they can hear birds chirping away when they are trying to relax in the garden and that's just with the patio doors open!! Our chicks are 3 months old now and their true colours are showing. I think I'll make a new years resolution now to master putting photos on here and not relying on others, then maybe I can find out what birds I have ;D ;D

Some pele are miserable aren't they.what about birds in the wild. I have loads of wild birds around here and I can her them a lot more than my budgies. Tell the,m to put ear plugs in:-) it annoys me when people are like that. I am the same Lesley I can't put photos on here.i have just had an iPad for Christmas so it's going to be a long time before I know how to put a photo on here. Sue
